In case anyone has the same problem and wants a solution, here is mine
(albeit with some horrible hacks):
"my.signif" <- function(vec, digits=6) {
# get correct number of significant figures
vec = signif(vec, digits)
# now get correct number of trailing zeros by calling sprintf and
sp
I am not sure that format solves the problem (although again I may
well be missing something)
# trailing zeros on large numbers
>format(vec, digits=4, scientific=F)
[1] " 0.8000" "123.4567" " 0.1235" " 7.6543"
"7654321."
# misses trailing zeros
> format(vec[1], digits
Hi everyone,
I can't figure out how to format numbers to have a certain number of
significant figures (as opposed to decimal places) without using
scientific notation and including trailing zeros if necessary.
e.g. I would like to achieve the following:
0.81 ---> 0.8000
123.4567--
