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, ...)
Arguments
| x | An object to glimpse at. |
|---|---|
| width | Width of output: defaults to the setting of the option
|
| ... | Other arguments passed on to individual methods. |
Value
x original x is (invisibly) returned, allowing glimpse() to be
used within a data pipe line.
S3 methods
glimpse is an S3 generic with a customised method for tbls and
data.frames, and a default method that calls str().
