printm {lazy.tools}

R Documentation

Print multiple objects together with their names

Description

Print multiple objects together with their names

Usage

printm(..., .sep. = ",  ", .NAchar. = ".", .FILL. = ".^")

Printm(..., .sep. = ",  ", .NAchar. = ".", .FILL. = ".^")

Arguments

...	objects to be printed
.sep.	delimiter string
.NAchar.	a character to indicate NA
.FILL.	string of length 2 to be used to fill in the blanks

Details

Printing array may be misleading.

This function can print data.frames with other objects. In contrast, lazy.tools::Print cannot print data.frames but allows some formatting.

Use Formatting data.frame

Those characters which match the value of .FILL. will be printed as blanks. If you know that the objects contain ".^", change the definition of .FILL..

When the actual arguments consist of string literals or numbers, they will be printed without names.

If the objects contain UTF-8 characters, the result may be misleading due to the bug of print.data.frame method.

The first element of ... will be returned invisibly so that this function can be used with pipe operator.
Use capture.output function, not the return value, to utilize the printed output of this function.

Examples

Mat <- matrix(1:6,3,2, dimnames=list(NULL,c("c1","C2")))
DF <- as.data.frame(Mat)
DF[2,2] <- NA
printm( 1.5:2.5, letters[1:2], Mat, DF, c(TRUE,FALSE), .sep.=",    " )
printm( "This is an example.", DF, 123, Mat+Mat )

d1 <- data.frame(x=1:3,y=11:13)
d2 <- data.frame(x=21:24,y=31:34)
ld <- list(d1,d2)
df <- as.data.frame(rbind(d1,d2))
printm(d1,d2,ld,df,NULL,d1)
