dplyr (version 0.3)

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(tbl, width = getOption("width"))

Arguments

tbl

A data table

width

Width of output: defaults to the width of the console.

Examples

glimpse(mtcars)

if (require("RSQLite") && has_lahman("sqlite")) {
  batting <- tbl(lahman_sqlite(), "Batting")
  glimpse(batting)
}
