[R] Printing left-justified character strings

[zListserv]

Sorry.  Here's how I re-defined print, print.default, and print.data.frame:

print = function(df, ..., right=FALSE, row.names=FALSE) base::print(df, ..., right=right, row.names=row.names)

print.default = function(df, ..., right=FALSE, row.names=FALSE) base::print.default(df, ..., right=right, row.names=row.names)

print.data.frame = function(df, ..., right=FALSE, row.names=FALSE) base::print.data.frame(df, ..., right=right, row.names=row.names)

and this is what it yields (I would like it to print without row names and with text left-adjusted):

R> x <- as.data.frame(rep(c("a", "ab", "abc"), 7))
R> print(x)
rep(c("a", "ab", "abc"), 7)
a                          
ab                         
abc                        
a                          
ab                         
abc                        
a                          
ab                         
abc                        
a                          
ab                         
abc                        
a                          
ab                         
abc                        
a                          
ab                         
abc                        
a                          
ab                         
abc                        
R> head(x)
 rep(c("a", "ab", "abc"), 7)
