Printing Data Frames

Description:

     Print a data frame.

Usage:

     ## S3 method for class 'data.frame':
     print(x, ..., digits = NULL, quote = FALSE, right = TRUE)

Arguments:

       x: object of class 'data.frame'.

     ...: optional arguments to 'print' or 'plot' methods.

  digits: the minimum number of significant digits to be used.

   quote: logical, indicating whether or not entries should be printed
          with surrounding quotes.

   right: logical, indicating whether or not strings should be
          right-aligned. The default is left-alignment.

Details:

     This calls 'format' which formats the data frame column-by-column,
     then converts to a character matrix and dispatches to the 'print'
     method for matrices.

     When 'quote = TRUE' only the entries are quoted not the row names
     nor the column names.
