Further arguments; see details section below |
The ellipsis arguments are used to pass how many columns at the start and the end of the matrix are selected; this defaults to 10.
The function is designed to behave as expected: if there is an
argument named “n
”, then this is used. If there is no
such argument, the first one is used.
A summary object is a list, comprising three elements:
shortened |
Boolean, with TRUE meaning that the middle
section of the matrix is ommitted, and FALSE meaning that the
entire matrix is returned because n is too big |
n |
Number of columns to return at the start and the end of the matrix |
out |
Matrix returned: just the first and last n columns
(if shortened is TRUE ), or the whole matrix if not |
