Hello R users,
I am writing a summary() for a custom class, and am to display the integers
right justified,
Say where x is the vector with integers, I am using the following:
cat("\t",format(x),"\t"...other columns)
this way I am trying to pass the format(x), to the cat function to display
it,
but still I am getting a kink(b/w the 9th and 10th row).
6 81 170 251 1.998026e-08
7 26 93 119 4.937587e-10
8 96 209 305 8.750939e-11
9 94 211 305 1.758285e-11
10 88 205 293 6.47853e-12
11 82 244 326 7.943691e-20
12 57 145 202 4.964509e-10
Thanks,

You may notice that there is a kink in row 7 as well, due to the same problem. What you may want to do is use formatC instead of format like this: cat(formatC(x,width=10),...,rep(" ",6),<last number>,"\n",sep="") Jim
