这是一个包含大量记录/行的data.table
:
dt <- data.table(a=sample(letters,1000,replace = T), b=rnorm(1000))
我们可以简单地查看它:
dt
...用第一行和最后5行生成一个非常方便的视图。
但是,当使用xtable
使用knitr
为pdf报告打印时,xtable
会打印所有数千行:
print(xtable(dt))
任何想法如何解决这个问题?
我想要一个来自xtable
的漂亮表格,但默认格式为data.table
。
像rbind
那样有第一个和最后五个元素的黑客是可能的,但不是很优雅。

以下是print.data.table
的修改版本,它返回格式化对象而不是打印它:
firstLast <- function(x, ...) {
UseMethod("firstLast")
}
firstLast.data.table <- function (x,
topn = getOption("datatable.print.topn"),
nrows = getOption("datatable.print.nrows"),
row.names = TRUE, ...) {
if (!is.numeric(nrows))
nrows = 100L
if (!is.infinite(nrows))
nrows = as.integer(nrows)
if (nrows <= 0L)
return(invisible())
if (!is.numeric(topn))
topn = 5L
topnmiss = missing(topn)
topn = max(as.integer(topn), 1L)
if (nrow(x) == 0L) {
if (length(x) == 0L)
return("Null data.table (0 rows and 0 cols)\n")
else return(paste("Empty data.table (0 rows) of ", length(x),
" col", if (length(x) > 1L)
"s", ": ", paste(head(names(x), 6), collapse = ","),
if (ncol(x) > 6)
"...", "\n", sep = ""))
}
if (topn * 2 < nrow(x) && (nrow(x) > nrows || !topnmiss)) {
toprint = rbind(head(x, topn), tail(x, topn))
rn = c(seq_len(topn), seq.int(to = nrow(x), length.out = topn))
printdots = TRUE
}
else {
toprint = x
rn = seq_len(nrow(x))
printdots = FALSE
}
toprint = data.table:::format.data.table(toprint, ...)
if (isTRUE(row.names))
rownames(toprint) = paste(format(rn, right = TRUE), ":",
sep = "")
else rownames(toprint) = rep.int("", nrow(x))
if (is.null(names(x)))
colnames(toprint) = rep("NA", ncol(toprint))
if (printdots) {
toprint = rbind(head(toprint, topn), `---` = "", tail(toprint,
topn))
rownames(toprint) = format(rownames(toprint), justify = "right")
return(toprint)
}
if (nrow(toprint) > 20L)
toprint = rbind(toprint, matrix(colnames(toprint), nrow = 1))
return(toprint)
}
这可以用来为xtable格式化大型data.table格式:
library(xtable)
xtable(firstLast(dt))
