I don't know about justify as an arg to print, but the following should qualify as a hint.
> format(c('a','aa','aaa'), justify='left') [1] "a " "aa " "aaa" > tmp <- data.frame(a=c('a','aa','aaa')) > print(tmp,justify='left') a 1 a 2 aa 3 aaa > tmp$b <- format(c('a','aa','aaa'),justify='left') > tmp a b 1 a a 2 aa aa 3 aaa aaa -Don -- Don MacQueen Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory 7000 East Ave., L-627 Livermore, CA 94550 925-423-1062 On 3/6/13 8:03 AM, "Berry Boessenkool" <berryboessenk...@hotmail.com> wrote: Hi everyone, I'm trying to print a table justified to the left, but it doesn't work. Any hints? KennArt <- data.frame(NR=c(171,172,174,175,176,177,181,411,980), TYP=c("Körnermais", "Corn Cob Mix", "Zuckermais", "Mischanbau (Silo)Mais/Sonnenblumen", "Mais mit Bejagungsschneise in gutem landwirtschaftlichen und ökologischen Zustand", "Mais mit Bejagungsschneise (Kulturpflanze)", "Hirse", "Silomais (Als Hauptfutter)", "Sudangras")) print(KennArt, justify="left") still justifies to the right: NR TYP 1 171 Körnermais 2 172 Corn Cob Mix 3 174 Zuckermais 4 175 Mischanbau (Silo)Mais/Sonnenblumen 5 176 Mais mit Bejagungsschneise in gutem landwirtschaftlichen und ökologischen Zustand 6 177 Mais mit Bejagungsschneise (Kulturpflanze) 7 181 Hirse 8 411 Silomais (Als Hauptfutter) 9 980 Sudangras print(KennArt[2:3,], justify="left") doesn't leftify either, so it's not the German letters' fault. format(KennArt, justify="left") does the job mostly, but the column names are still rightified...
