Description

Provides a 'tbl_df' class (the 'tibble') that provides stricter checking and better formatting than the traditional data frame.

Details

The tibble package provides utilities for handling tibbles, where "tibble" is a colloquial term for the S3 tbl_df class. The tbl_df class is a special case of the base data.frame. class, developed in response to lessons learned over many years of data analysis with data frames.

Tibble is the central data structure for the set of packages known as the tidyverse, including dplyr, ggplot2, tidyr, and readr.

Package options

The following option is used for viewing tabular data with view():

• tibble.view_max: Maximum number of rows shown if the input is not a data frame. Default: 1000.

The following options control printing of tbl and tbl_df objects:

• tibble.print_max: Row number threshold: Maximum number of rows printed. Set to Inf to always print all rows. Default: 20.

• tibble.print_min: Number of rows printed if row number threshold is exceeded. Default: 10.

• tibble.width: Output width. Default: NULL (use width option).

• tibble.max_extra_cols: Number of extra columns printed in reduced form. Default: 100.

The output uses color and highlighting according to the "cli.num_colors" option. Set it to 1 to suppress colored and highlighted output.

• pillar.bold: Use bold font, e.g. for column headers? This currently defaults to FALSE, because many terminal fonts have poor support for bold fonts.

• pillar.subtle: Use subtle style, e.g. for row numbers and data types? Default: TRUE.

• pillar.subtle_num: Use subtle style for insignificant digits? Default: FALSE, is also affected by the pillar.subtle option.

• pillar.neg: Highlight negative numbers? Default: TRUE.

• pillar.sigfig: The number of significant digits that will be printed and highlighted, default: 3. Set the pillar.subtle option to FALSE to turn off highlighting of significant digits.

• pillar.min_title_chars: The minimum number of characters for the column title, default: 15. Column titles may be truncated up to that width to save horizontal space. Set to Inf to turn off truncation of column titles.

• pillar.min_chars: The minimum number of characters wide to display character columns, default: 0. Character columns may be truncated up to that width to save horizontal space. Set to Inf to turn off truncation of character columns.

• pillar.max_dec_width: The maximum allowed width for decimal notation, default 13.
