glimpse {tibble} | R Documentation |
This is like a transposed version of print()
: columns run down the page,
and data runs across. This makes it possible to see every column in
a data frame. It's a little like str()
applied to a data frame
but it tries to show you as much data as possible. (And it always shows
the underlying data, even when applied to a remote data source.)
glimpse(x, width = NULL, ...)
x |
An object to glimpse at. |
width |
Width of output: defaults to the setting of the option
|
... |
Other arguments passed on to individual methods. |
x original x is (invisibly) returned, allowing glimpse()
to be
used within a data pipe line.
glimpse
is an S3 generic with a customised method for tbl
s and
data.frames
, and a default method that calls str()
.
