glimpse.data_request: Get a glimpse of your data

In galah: Biodiversity Data from the GBIF Node Network

Get a glimpse of your data

Description

glimpse() is like a transposed version of print(): columns run down the page, and data runs across. This makes it possible to see every column in a data frame. It's a little like str() applied to a data frame but it tries to show you as much data as possible. This implementation is specific to galah and is evaluated lazily.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'data_request'
glimpse(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'occurrences_glimpse'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

x	An object of class data_request
...	Other arguments, currently ignored

Details

This implementation of glimpse() actually involves changing the API call sent to the server, then returning a novel object class with it's own print() method.
