Hello!
I am working on a statistical package called VOStat
(http://vo.iucaa.ernet.in/~voi/VOStat.html) which uses a Java based GUI
to input data and parameters from the user. Based on the inputs, an
appropriate R script is generated and executed in the R console. As an
example, consider the output to be a data frame. This data frame is
printed in a well formatted way in the R console but the formatting is
lost when the output is captured in a text file, which is later printed
as output by the VOStat GUI. I have ways to format the output using Java
by displaying it in a tabular form with grid lines. But I am facing
problems in doing so when the R output is truncated to a new line, for
instance when the number of columns is large. A trivial example is
mentioned below:-
new_df<- data.frame("League Position"=1, "Team"="Manchester City", "Games
played"=38, "Games won"=28, "Games drawn"=5, "Games lost"=5, "Goals scored"=93,
"Goals conceded"=29, "Goal difference"=64, "Points"=89)
print(new_df, row.names=FALSE)
League.Position Team Games.played Games.won
Games.drawn Games.lost Goals.scored
1 Manchester City 38
28 5 5 93
Goals.conceded Goal.difference Points
29 64 89
So my question is whether there is a way to prevent R from wrapping the
output so that all columns of a row can displayed in a single line in
the console or should I start thinking of alternate ways to do the
formatting?
Many thanks for your help.
