R: Wrapper function around 'print.summarytools' to facilitate...

view	R Documentation

Wrapper function around `print.summarytools` to facilitate generation of html files.

Description

Takes a summarytools object as argument and calls its print method using method="viewer" by default. This generates an html file in the session's temporary directory and displays this file in RStudio's Viewer pane, falling back to default browser when used outside RStudio.

Usage

  view(x, method = "viewer", ...)

Arguments

`x`	A `summarytools` object created with one of `freq`, `descr` and `dfSummary`.
`method`	One of the 3 following: “viewer” (default), “browser”, “pander”. Note: To display `x` without any formatting at all, simply use `as.table(x)`
`...`	Not used for now.

Details

This function makes it more practical to generate html files with a single line of code, such as in view(freq(iris$Species)).

Value

For method=="pander", nothing (NULL) is returned. With the two other methods (“viewer” and “browser”), returns the html file's absolute path.
