Significant Digits in R CRAN

I get a bit sick of scientific notation in R. And when I try to turn it off, I get sick of all the decimal places. These options seem to mostly stop scientific notation and give a happy number of decimal places.

options(scipen = 6) # bias against scientific notation
options(digits = 1) # show fewer decimal places

  8. Thanks. Appreciate the simplicity and straight to the pointed-ness. (And of course the fact that it worked exactly as you said.)
