tibble (version 1.0)

glimpse: Get a glimpse of your data.

Description

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.)

Usage

glimpse(x, width = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

An object to glimpse at.

width

Width of output: defaults to the setting of the option tibble.width or the width of the console.

...

Other arguments passed onto 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.

Examples

glimpse(mtcars)

if (require("Lahman")) {
  glimpse(Lahman::Batting)
}
