[R] numeric format

[jim holtman]

Those are parameter to 'print';  what you want is something like:

> x <- data.frame(a=runif(10))
> print(x)
             a
1  0.713705394
2  0.715496609
3  0.629578524
4  0.184360667
5  0.456639418
6  0.008667156
7  0.260985437
8  0.270915631
9  0.689128652
10 0.302484280
> print(x,scientific=F, digits=4)
          a
1  0.713705
2  0.715497
3  0.629579
4  0.184361
5  0.456639
6  0.008667
