R: Invoke a Pager on an R Object

page {utils} | R Documentation

## Invoke a Pager on an R Object

### Description

Displays a representation of the object named by `x` in a pager via `file.show`.

### Usage

    page(x, method = c("dput", "print"), ...)

### Arguments

`x` | An R object, or a character string naming an object.
`method` | The default method is to dump the object via `dput`. An alternative is to use `print` and capture the output to be shown in the pager.
`...` | additional arguments for `dput`, `print` or `file.show` (such as `title`).

### Details

If `x` is a length-one character vector, it is used as the name of an object to look up in the environment from which `page` is called. All other objects are displayed directly.

A default value of `title` is passed to `file.show` if one is not supplied in `...`.

### See Also

`file.show`, `edit`, `fix`.

To go to a new page when graphing, see `frame`.

### Examples

    ## Not run: ## four ways to look at the code of 'page'
    page(page)             # as an object
    page("page")           # a character string
    v <- "page"; page(v)   # a length-one character vector
    page(utils::page)      # a call

    ## End(Not run)
