Re: [R] edit.data.frame

That changes the object if you make a change in the editor, so definitely 
NOT to be recommended.

An alternative to the editor is showData() from the relimp package.   
It is modeless, meaning that your data window can be left open/ 
minimized while you work in R.  I haven't tested it with _very_ large  
data frames though.

Re: [R] edit.data.frame - summary

Thanks to

David Firth
Brian Ripley
ronggui
jim holtman

who help with this question.

showData() from the relimp package works and shows the dataframe as.is
but scrolls rather weak with huge data.frames (15 000 x 120)

fix(...) is somewhat dangerous as you usually don't want to correct 
individual data but
get an overview

invisible(edit(...)) does the trick and scrolls with excellent speed 
even with huge dataframes
but not exactly as.is (dates as negative or positive integer, minor 
problem).

It has been tested on tens of thousands of columns.

Well, actually this is `as.is' and showData is not (and that _is_ 
documented on the help page).  If you want to see the printed 
representation, call invisible(edit(format(your_df)))


A non-modal read-only version of the dataeditors would be a nice 
programming exercise.

If you mean printed to the R terminal/console, assign the result or use
