| print.char.matrix {Hmisc} | R Documentation |
Prints a dataframe or matrix in stacked cells. Line break charcters in a matrix element will result in a line break in that cell, but tab characters are not supported.
print.char.matrix(x, file = "", col.name.align = "cen", col.txt.align = "right",
cell.align = "cen", hsep = "|", vsep = "-", csep = "+", row.names = TRUE,
col.names = FALSE, append = FALSE,
top.border = TRUE, left.border = TRUE, ...)
x |
a matrix or dataframe |
file |
name of file if file output is desired. If left empty, output will be to the screen |
col.name.align |
if column names are used, they can be aligned
right, left or centre. Default "cen" results in names centred
between the sides of the columns they name. If the width of the text
in the columns is less than the width of the name, col.name.align
will have no effect. Other options are "right" and "left". |
col.txt.align |
how character columns are aligned. Options
are the same as for col.name.align with no effect when the width of
the column is greater than its name. |
cell.align |
how numbers are displayed in columns |
hsep |
character string to use as horizontal separator, i.e. what separates columns |
vsep |
character string to use as vertical separator, i.e. what separates rows. Length cannot be more than one. |
csep |
character string to use where vertical and horizontal
separators cross. If hsep is more than one character,
csep will need to be the same length. There is no provision
for multiple vertical separators |
row.names |
logical: are we printing the names of the rows? |
col.names |
logical: are we printing the names of the columns? |
append |
logical: if {file} is not "", are we appending to
the file or overwriting? |
top.border |
logical: do we want a border along the top above the columns? |
left.border |
logical: do we want a border along the left of the first column? |
... |
unused |
If any column of x is a mixture of character and numeric, the
distinction between character and numeric columns will be lost. This
is especially so if the matrix is of a form where you would not want
to print the column names, the column information being in the rows at
the beginning of the matrix.
Row names, if not specified in the making of the matrix will simply be
numbers. To prevent printing them, set row.names = FALSE.
No value is returned. The matrix or dataframe will be printed to file or to the screen.
