Hi there! I use an gnome-terminal for using R. When I resize the termial to the maximum size, R uses only the left side of the window. Can I tell R to use the whole window somehow?
This seems to do it:
options(width=Sys.getenv("COLUMNS"))
(Surprisingly, at least to me, the COLUMNS environment variable appears
to be automagically updated by gnome-terminal even after R is started. I
was expecting to have to play with system("tset") and suchlike.)
That seems to work also with KDE's "Konsole".
It may be worthwile considering
to implement some automatic width-adjustment like:
.adjustwidth <- function(...){
options(width=Sys.getenv("COLUMNS"))
TRUE
}
addTaskCallback(.adjustwidth)
After that, the output width is adapted to the actual terminal width
each time one hits return.
Just my 20 cents.
Best,
