Here's the current method for printing a data frame:
> print.data.frame function (x, ..., digits = NULL, quote = FALSE, right = TRUE, row.names = TRUE) { n <- length(row.names(x)) if (length(x) == 0L) { cat("NULL data frame with", n, "rows\n") } else if (n == 0L) { print.default(names(x), quote = FALSE) cat("<0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)\n") } else { m <- as.matrix(format.data.frame(x, digits = digits, na.encode = FALSE)) if (!isTRUE(row.names)) dimnames(m)[[1]] <- if (identical(row.names, FALSE)) rep.int("", n) else row.names print(m, ..., quote = quote, right = right) } invisible(x) } <environment: namespace:base> > so you can either set up your own copy of this or make a matrix copy of your data frame (as done in the function above) and set the row names to "" HTH Steve McKinney -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Matthew Pettis Sent: Tue 9/23/2008 6:55 PM To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] print.data.frame : row.name = FALSE not having intendedeffect Never mind -- the answer is buried in my own question... I was looking at documentation for version 2.7.2, and when I looked at the one for 2.6.2, I see the row.names option isn't in that release. Any suggestions on how I can code around that in 2.6.2, so I don't have to upgrade to 2.7.2 just yet?
