prettyNum: prettyNum for matrices and tables

In drmjc/mjcbase: General helper functions for dealing with \R objects/data types

Description

Extension of the excellent prettyNum from base to work with matrix & data.frame objects.

Usage

prettyNum(x, ...)

Arguments

x	a data.frame, matrix or vector
...	arguments passed to prettyNum

Details

prettyNum is the utility function for prettifying x. x can be complex (or format(<complex>), matrix or data.frame here. If each element of x is not a character, format(x[i], ...) is applied to each element, and then it is left unchanged if all the other arguments are at their defaults. Note that prettyNum(x) may behave unexpectedly if elements of x are a character vector not resulting from something like format(<number>): in particular it assumes that a period is a decimal mark.

Value

A character object of same size and attributes as x, in the current locale's encoding.
