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 (if finite) 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.
glimpse(mtcars)
if (!requireNamespace("nycflights13", quietly = TRUE))
stop("Please install the nycflights13 package to run the rest of this example")
glimpse(nycflights13::flights)
