3.3 Displaying tibbles

The way it prints in the console is different than that of data frames:

  • Dimensions are shown.
  • Information about columns data types (no need for mode() or typeof).
  • Only the first 10 rows are displayed.
  • Only the columns that fit the screen are displayed.

If you want to see more rows, set the n parameter in print():

  • Print the first 15 rows:
print(mytibble, n=15)
## # A tibble: 26 x 2
##    letters numbers
##    <chr>     <int>
##  1 A             1
##  2 B             2
##  3 C             3
##  4 D             4
##  5 E             5

## 14 N            14
## 15 O            15
## # … with 11 more rows
  • Print all rows:
print(mytibble, n=Inf)
## # A tibble: 26 x 2
##    letters numbers
