Usage

signifString(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 'data.frame'

# Default S3 method

Arguments

x

The number to round

...

Arguments passed to methods.

digits

integer indicating the number of significant digits

sci_range

integer (or Inf) indicating when to switch to scientific notation instead of floating point. Zero indicates always use scientific; Inf indicates to never use scientific notation; otherwise, scientific notation is used when abs(log10(x)) > si_range.

sci_sep

The separator to use for scientific notation strings (typically this will be either "e" or "x10^" for computer- or human-readable output).

si_range

Deprecated, please use sci_range

Value

A string with the value
