Subject: windows data editor changes dimensions displayed data frames
dear R-tists,
i am experiencing a problem with the data editor in the windows version of
R 1.6.1 envoked with the command 'fix'.
the data editor changes the size of large data frames.
a simple example illustrates this:
-------------------------------------------------------
> dfrm <- data.frame(no=c(1:100000))
> length(dfrm[,1])
[1] 100000
> fix(dfrm)
> length(dfrm[,1])
[1] 34464
--------------------------------------------------------
does anybody have a quick remedy for this?
i am not sure whether it is worth putting much developmental effort in
solving this particular problem.
however, i believe that one should be aware of it when working with large
data sets.
greetings from the northern edge of europe.
bernd.
