Subject: Formatting numbers with a limited amount of digits consistently
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!
Is this a "feature" of R or did I miss something?
