I got a problem to change the default output on the screen and I use Xemacs ESS and R.
When I happen to show a data.frame with thousands of records (type a variable name and return), the screen just freeze or keep scrolling for minutes, because of the large quantity of records.
Therefore I decide to write a more clever "show" method, which will check the number of items to print on the screen. If there are too many records, it will just prompt a warning message and return. How can I do it? I tried it setMethod("show","ANY", function(object){....;standerdGenetic("show");}), but it did not work.
Can anyone give me some ideas?
Thanks in advance
