print: Print 'skim' objects

In skimr: Compact and Flexible Summaries of Data

Print skim objects

Description

skimr has custom print methods for all supported objects. Default printing methods for knitr/ rmarkdown documents is also provided.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'skim_df'
print(
  x,
  include_summary = TRUE,
  n = Inf,
  width = Inf,
  summary_rule_width = getOption("skimr_summary_rule_width", default = 40),
  ...
)

## S3 method for class 'skim_list'
print(x, n = Inf, width = Inf, ...)

## S3 method for class 'summary_skim_df'
print(x, .summary_rule_width = 40, ...)

Arguments

x	Object to format or print.
include_summary	Whether a summary of the data frame should be printed
n	Number of rows to show. If NULL, the default, will print all rows if less than the print_max option. Otherwise, will print as many rows as specified by the print_min option.
width	Width of text output to generate. This defaults to NULL, which means use the width option.
summary_rule_width	Width of Data Summary cli rule, defaults to 40.
...	Passed on to tbl_format_setup().
.summary_rule_width	the width for the main rule above the summary.

Methods (by class)

• print(skim_df): Print a skimmed data frame (skim_df from skim()).

• print(skim_list): Print a skim_list, a list of skim_df objects.

• print(summary_skim_df): Print method for a summary_skim_df object.

Printing options

For better or for worse, skimr often produces more output than can fit in the standard R console. Fortunately, most modern environments like RStudio and Jupyter support more than 80 character outputs. Call options(width = 90) to get a better experience with skimr.

The print methods in skimr wrap those in the tibble package. You can control printing behavior using the same global options.

Behavior in dplyr pipelines

Printing a skim_df requires specific columns that might be dropped when using dplyr::select() or dplyr::summarize() on a skim_df. In those cases, this method falls back to tibble::print.tbl().

Options for controlling print behavior

You can control the width rule line for the printed subtables with an option: skimr_table_header_width.
