modin.pandas.DataFrame.to_string¶
- DataFrame.to_string(buf=None, columns=None, col_space=None, header=True, index=True, na_rep='NaN', formatters=None, float_format=None, sparsify=None, index_names=True, justify=None, max_rows=None, min_rows=None, max_cols=None, show_dimensions=False, decimal='.', line_width=None, max_colwidth=None, encoding=None) str | None [source]¶
Render a DataFrame to a console-friendly tabular output.
- Parameters:
buf (str, Path or StringIO-like, optional, default None) – Buffer to write to. If None, the output is returned as a string.
columns (array-like, optional, default None) – The subset of columns to write. Writes all columns by default.
col_space (int, list or dict of int, optional) – The minimum width of each column. If a list of ints is given every integers corresponds with one column. If a dict is given, the key references the column, while the value defines the space to use..
header (bool or list of str, optional) – Write out the column names. If a list of columns is given, it is assumed to be aliases for the column names.
index (bool, optional, default True) – Whether to print index (row) labels.
na_rep (str, optional, default ‘NaN’) – String representation of NaN to use.
formatters (list, tuple or dict of one-param. functions, optional) – Formatter functions to apply to columns’ elements by position or name. The result of each function must be a unicode string. List/tuple must be of length equal to the number of columns.
float_format (one-parameter function, optional, default None) – Formatter function to apply to columns’ elements if they are floats. This function must return a unicode string and will be applied only to the non-NaN elements, with NaN being handled by na_rep.
sparsify (bool, optional, default True) – Set to False for a DataFrame with a hierarchical index to print every multiindex key at each row.
index_names (bool, optional, default True) – Prints the names of the indexes.
justify (str, default None) – How to justify the column labels. If None uses the option from the print configuration (controlled by set_option), ‘right’ out of the box. Valid values are - left - right - center - justify - justify-all - start - end - inherit - match-parent - initial - unset.
max_rows (int, optional) – Maximum number of rows to display in the console.
max_cols (int, optional) – Maximum number of columns to display in the console.
show_dimensions (bool, default False) – Display DataFrame dimensions (number of rows by number of columns).
decimal (str, default ‘.’) – Character recognized as decimal separator, e.g. ‘,’ in Europe.
line_width (int, optional) – Width to wrap a line in characters.
min_rows (int, optional) – The number of rows to display in the console in a truncated repr (when number of rows is above max_rows).
max_colwidth (int, optional) – Max width to truncate each column in characters. By default, no limit.
encoding (str, default “utf-8”) – Set character encoding.
- Returns:
If buf is None, returns the result as a string. Otherwise returns None.
- Return type:
str or None
