Hi, Tal,
in print.default it says:
digits:
a non-null value for digits specifies the __minimum__
number of __significant__ digits to be printed in values.
Maybe this clarifies your observation.

This may have been asked before, but I don't understand the behavior
of options(digits = 1) for vectors containing values such as 0.01
For example, why is this happening:
options(digits = 1)
0.01
[1] 0.01
More examples:
options(digits = 7)
0.1
[1] 0.1
0.01
[1] 0.01
0.11
[1] 0.11
c(0.1,0.01)
[1] 0.10 0.01
options(digits = 1)
0.1
[1] 0.1
0.01
[1] 0.01
0.11
[1] 0.1
c(0.1,0.01)
[1] 0.10 0.01
The help file in ?options says:
digits:
controls the number of digits to print when printing numeric values. It is
a suggestion only.
Is this what is mean by "It is a suggestion only." ?
