Limits on nrow and ncol when printing to screen

[thomasd2]

It seems like matrices with more than 20 rows or columns are not printed when typing the name of the object. Is there a reason why - the limit seems low, I often want to look for instance at a matrix with 50 rows and 5 columns. I can use View() but that requires more typing. Thanks!

See ?print.dfm. That involves even more typing I am afraid! If you have suggestions on how this would be better set, we'd be happy to hear it. Could add to global quanteda options, for instance.

Thanks. Some solution allowing to set this according to personal tastes when loading the package or even permanently (through specification in Rprofile??) would be great.

How about

quanteda_print_dfm_ndoc
quanteda_print_dfm_nfeature

as global options?

So the new signature for print.dfm() would be:

setMethod("print", signature(x = "dfm"), 
          function(x, show.values = FALSE, show.settings = FALSE, show.summary = TRUE, 
                   ndoc = getOption("quanteda_print_dfm_ndoc"), 
                   nfeature = getOption("quanteda_print_dfm_nfeature"), ...) {
...

and we would set these options in zzz.R.
