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. = ".^")

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.

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.

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)
