Scientific notation or not

[charlott...@gmail.com]

Dear all,

I am using renderTable and tableOutput to print a table in my app. However, I would like to ask shiny to show figures in scientific notation (e.g. 3.38e-5) instead of 0.0000385.

I did not find the right parameter to set this. Do you know the way to do that ?

Thank you very much in advance,

Cheers !

Cha

Add the argument digits=-3 to the renderTable call.

output$table <- renderTable({

  ... table expr ...

}, digits = -3)

xtable interprets negative numbers as scientific notation, the abs value indicates the number of digits to display.
