Thank you for your answer. When I set options(width=250) I still get the same result when I print the data.frame on my Rgui console (R 2.4.1, Windows XP). Colums become underneath each other. I also get an error (?) message [ reached getOption("max.print") -- omitted 3462 rows ]]. For example if I have a data.frame with 4000 rows and 200 columns I would like to be able to use scroll bars in Rconsole to investigate the whole data.frame.
btw, R is very useful system, my sincere thanks goes to R developers! -Lauri 2007/2/8, Prof Brian Ripley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > ?options, look for 'width'. > > I don't know what OS this in: the Windows Rgui has an option to set the > width to the width of the console, but you can override it. > > On Thu, 8 Feb 2007, Lauri Nikkinen wrote: > > > Hi R-users, > > > > > > > > A newbie question: assume that I have for example 30 columns in my > > data.frame named DF.
