When I run View(iris) I don't get scrollbars, and the table is truncated so that only whole cells are visible, so there's no clue that there's other cells outside the initial view - I never see half a cell. I'd attach a screenshot but not on this list... Maybe this is just View() on Linux, or View() on Ubuntu Linux, or View() on Ubuntu Linux/Gnome. But View() is very system dependent. > -Roy > >> On Apr 20, 2017, at 12:45 AM, David Hugh-Jones <davidhughjo...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> >> >> Two questions: >> >> 1.
