Appendix C — Default settings

Some of the default settings of scan can be changed with the options() argument. Table C.1 shows a complete list of options and their default values.

# get the current value of an option

# set option to a different value
options(scan.print.rows = 5, scan.print.scdf.name = FALSE)
