I have tried to get signif, round and format to display numbers like
these consistently in a table, using e.g. signif(x,digits=3)
17.01
18.15
I want
17.0
18.2
Not
17
18.2
Why is the last digit stripped off in the case when it is zero!
signif() changes the value; you don't want that, you want to affect how
a number is displayed. Use format() or formatC() instead, for example
> x <- c(17.01, 18.15)
> format(x, digits=3)
[1] "17.0" "18.1"
> noquote(format(x, digits=3))
[1] 17.0 18.1
Is this a "feature" of R or did I miss something?
I'd say both.
