View (without crashing Rstudio)

Description

R's View() always tries to open any object; but some common objects make Rstudio crash or slow things down. This function is designed to mask the default View(). This version removes by default any list-columns, including geometry columns from data.frame objects. It also blocks viewing large dataframes.

Usage

View(x, title = NULL, block_large_df = TRUE, rm_lc = TRUE)

Arguments

x	An R object
title	An optional title chosen for the window that will display the object
block_large_df	Should large dataframes be blocked from displaying?
rm_lc	Should list-columns be removed?

Details

Global options can be set to alter behaviour:

• "cpview_mblim": an integer for maximum dataframe size in Mb (rough approximation)

• "cpview_celllim": an integer for maximum number of dataframe columns

• "cpview_warn": anything but 'NULL' to silence warnings when removing list-columns

Value

Both the object (invisibly) and its display

Examples

iris_same <- iris %>%
  mutate(listcol = purrr::map(Petal.Width, ~`+`(Petal.Length, .x))) %>%
  as_tibble() %>%
  View()
