Hello R users,
I am writing a summary() for a custom class, and am to display the integers
right justified,
Say where x is the vector with integers, I am using the following:
cat("\t",format(x),"\t"...other columns)

this way I am trying to pass the format(x), to the cat function to display
it,
but still I am getting a kink(b/w the 9th and 10th row).

Thanks,
HI Sahil,
The "kink" is due to the fact that each row is being formatted separately. You may notice that there is a kink in row 7 as well, due to the same problem. What you may want to do is use formatC instead of format like this:

cat(formatC(x,width=10),...,rep(" ",6),<last number>,"\n",sep="")
