prettynumbers
The goal of prettynumbers is to provide a pretty print method for
(large) numbers, primarily for the type vector . Before a more extended
autoprint is implemented in base R, we need to call print explicitly,
but hopefully this will be resolved until R
3.6.
Installation
You can install the development version from GitHub.
devtools::install_github("lorenzwalthert/prettynumbers") Example
set.seed(4)
library(prettynumbers)
numbers <- c(1, 23, 1023.30, 38929381, runif(10, 0, 1e6))
numbers
#> [1] 1
#> [2] 23
#> [3] 1'023 (~1 thousand)
#> [4] 38'929'381 (~39 millions)
#> [5] 585'800 (~586 thousand)
#> [6] 8'945 (~9 thousand)
#> [7] 293'739 (~294 thousand)
#> [8] 277'374 (~277 thousand)
#> [9] 813'574 (~814 thousand)
#> [10] 260'427 (~260 thousand)
#> # And 4 more rows.Note that because of autoprint for interactive usage is not implemented
as stated above, you need to call print() explicitly when used
interactively, e.g.
print(numbers, delim = ",", digits_after_decimal = 2)
#> [1] 1.00
#> [2] 23.00
#> [3] 1,023.29 (~1 thousand)
#> [4] 38,929,381.00 (~39 millions)
#> [5] 585,800.30 (~586 thousand)
#> [6] 8,945.79 (~9 thousand)
#> [7] 293,739.61 (~294 thousand)
#> [8] 277,374.95 (~277 thousand)
#> [9] 813,574.21 (~814 thousand)
#> [10] 260,427.77 (~260 thousand)
#> # And 4 more rows.And see how this compares to the default printing method:
set.seed(4)
c(1, 23, 1023.30, 38929381, runif(10, 0, 1e6)) %>% print.default()
#> [1] 1.000 23.000 1023.300 38929381.000 585800.305
#> [6] 8945.796 293739.612 277374.958 813574.215 260427.771
#> [11] 724405.893 906092.151 949040.221 73144.469Features
Compared the default interger and numberic printing method, this package offers.
- Allign numbers by decimal point.
- Print only one number per row to reduce distortion.
- Add delimiters such as
'. - Show rounded output in semi-verbatin for easier visual digestion.
- limit number of printed elements.
