print
prints its argument and returns it invisibly (via
invisible(x)
). It is a generic function which means that
new printing methods can be easily added for new class
es.
print(x, ...) ## S3 method for class 'factor' print(x, quote = FALSE, max.levels = NULL, width = getOption("width"), ...) ## S3 method for class 'table' print(x, digits = getOption("digits"), quote = FALSE, na.print = "", zero.print = "0", right = is.numeric(x) || is.complex(x), justify = "none", ...) ## S3 method for class 'function' print(x, useSource = TRUE, ...)
x |
an object used to select a method. |
... |
further arguments passed to or from other methods. |
quote |
logical, indicating whether or not strings should be printed with surrounding quotes. |
max.levels |
integer, indicating how many levels should be
printed for a factor; if |
width |
only used when |
digits |
minimal number of significant digits, see
|
na.print |
character string (or |
zero.print |
character specifying how zeros ( |
right |
logical, indicating whether or not strings should be right aligned. |
justify |
character indicating if strings should left- or
right-justified or left alone, passed to |
useSource |
logical indicating if internally stored source
should be used for printing when present, e.g., if

The default method, print.default
has its own help page.
Use methods("print")
to get all the methods for the
print
generic.
print.factor
allows some customization and is used for printing
ordered
factors as well.
print.table
for printing table
s allows other
customization. As of R 3.0.0, it only prints a description in case of a table
with 0-extents (this can happen if a classifier has no valid data).
See noquote
as an example of a class whose main
purpose is a specific print
method.

For a simple prototypical print method, see

in package tools.
