Hi all! Two quick questions:
1) What is called by data.table during print to determine the format of the printed output? Looking at the print method didn't reveal any formatting being applied that I could see. 2) Would a method of attaching a 'format' attribute to a var list , such that the data.table print method could apply it, be worth-while? I'm thinking that this would have no effect on actual calculation times, and if a flag (similar to by, group, .SDcols) could be utilized then it wouldn't delay perceived response time unless desired, but could be there as a forwardable attribute when sub-setting and messaging data; and therefore be a useful tool in visual inspection and sharing of results. I'm thinking of a 'format' attribute in the form of an expression taking a singular list as an argument that can then be applied. -- Sincerely, Thell
