R experts, I am working with large multivariable data frames (> 50 variables) and I would like to scroll horizontally across my output to view each data frame rather than having to scroll down vertically- wrapped data frames.I have been using R Commander as a programming interface. If I assign a long character string to a vector I can scroll across its output easily but not a dataframe of equivalent width. I just want my data frame variables to fully output horizontally rather than partially with vertical wrapping, if that is possible. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Mike _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail has tools for the New Busy. Search, chat and e-mail from your inbox. N:WL:en-US:WM_HMP:042010_1
Hi Mike, You can set options(width = x), where x equals the number of columns. -Ista On Monday 10 May 2010 16:06:54 Michael H wrote:> R experts, > > I am working with large multivariable data frames (> 50 variables) > and I would like to scroll horizontally across my output > to view each data frame rather than having to scroll down vertically- > wrapped data frames.I have been using R Commander as a programming > interface.

Perhaps even ?View would be useful here. I've never used R Commander, so don't know it would be useful in that environment.

under Unix/X11 (and IIRC under Windows), edit(some.data.frame) will invoke a smallish spreadsheet-like data editor, which will allow you to move around your data with no fuss. I probably wouldn't use it for any serious data entry, but found damn useful in a lot of data-debugging situations (you know, the sort of ... thing ... that hit the fan when you've been coaxed to accept Excel spreatsheet as "dats sets").
