glimpse() is like a transposed version of print():
columns run down the page, and data runs across.
This makes it possible to see every column in a data frame.
It's a little like str() applied to a data frame
but it tries to show you as much data as possible.
(And it always shows the underlying data, even when applied
to a remote data source.)
See format_glimpse() for details on the formatting.
# S3 method for tidySingleCellExperiment
glimpse(x, width = NULL, ...)An object to glimpse at.
Width of output: defaults to the setting of the
width option (if finite)
or the width of the console.
Unused, for extensibility.
x original x is (invisibly) returned, allowing glimpse() to be
used within a data pipe line.
glimpse is an S3 generic with a customised method for tbls and
data.frames, and a default method that calls str().
