Column Wrap

Source: R/columnWrap.R
columnWrap.Rd

Wraps text in a character matrix so that it's displayed over more than one line.

Usage

columnWrap(x, width = NULL)

Arguments

x

a character vector, typically one row of a matrix (e.g. via apply(m, 1, columnWrap)).

width

integer, the width of the columns in characters, recycled to the length of x. Defaults to an equal share of getOption("width") per column.

Value

a character matrix with one column per element of x and one row per wrapped line.

Details

A data.frame containing character columns with long texts is often wrapped by columns. This can lead to a loss of overview. columnWrap() wraps the lines within the columns.
