Information is returned on how format(x, digits, nsmall)
would be formatted.
format.info(x, digits = NULL, nsmall = 0)
x |
an atomic vector; a potential argument of
|
digits |
how many significant digits are to be used for
numeric and complex |
nsmall |
(see |
An integer vector of length 1, 3 or 6, say
r.
For logical, integer and character vectors a single element,
the width which would be used by format if width = NULL.
For numeric vectors:
r[1] |
width (in characters) used by |
r[2] |
number of digits after decimal point. |
r[3] |

For a complex vector the first three elements refer to the real parts, and there are three further elements corresponding to the imaginary parts.
