glimpse() 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 is no more than a wrapper around utils::str() only it returns
the input (invisibly) meaning it can be used within a data pipeline.
Usage
glimpse(x, width = getOption("width"), ...)Arguments
- x
An object to glimpse at.
- width
integer(1). Width of the output.- ...
Additional parameters to pass to
utils::str().
Examples
glimpse(mtcars)
