[R] Weird options(digits=n) behaviour

[Fernando Henrique Ferraz Pereira da Rosa]

     I noticed some very weird behaviour of the function: options(digits=n),
where n is the number of digits you would expect to get in R calculations.
     Let's take a example:

> options(digits=4)
> getdata(caso.pool.k3.r3.e2)
[1]  6.053  2.641 -3.639 14.259  6.082

     Which works fine... now, trying again, with different data:

> options(digits=4)
> getdata(controle.pool.k3.r3.e2)
[1] -0.03091  1.60310 -4.90588  5.07379 -0.04418
>
    Which gives me 6 digits instead of 6. If I try digits=2, it then works
with this data:
> options(digits=2)
> getdata(controle.pool.k3.r3.e2)
[1] -0.031  1.603 -4.906  5.074 -0.044

   But not with the first one:

> getdata(caso.pool.k3.r3.e2)
[1]  6.1  2.6 -3.6 14.3  6.1


   getdata source code is as folllows:

function(v) {
 o <- c(mean(v),sd(v),min(v),max(v),median(v))
 o
}


    What is going on?
