Print methods for permutation objects
Print methods for permutation objects with matrix-like printing for words and bracket notation for cycle objects.
## S3 method for class 'cycle'
print(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'word'
print(x, h = getOption("print_word_as_cycle"), ...)
as.character_cyclist(y,comma=TRUE)x |
Object of class |
h |
Boolean, with default |

Printing of word objects is controlled by
options("print_word_as_cycle"). The default behaviour is to
coerce a word to cycle form and print that, with a notice that the
object itself was coerced from word.
If options("print_word_as_cycle") is FALSE, then objects
of class word are printed as a matrix with rows being the permutations
and fixed points indicated with a dot.
Function as.character_cyclist() is an internal function used by
print.cycle(), and is not really designed for the end-user. It
takes a cyclist and returns a character string.
Returns its argument invisibly, after printing it.

# generate a permutation in *word* form: x <- rperm(4,9) # default behaviour is to print in cycle form irregardless: x # change default using options(): options(print_word_as_cycle=FALSE) # objects in word form now printed using matrix notation: x # printing of cycle form objects not altered: as.cycle(x) # restore default: options(print_word_as_cycle=TRUE) as.character_cyclist(list(1:4,10:11,20:33)) # x a cyclist; as.character_cyclist(list(c(1,5,4),c(2,2))) # does not check for consistency as.character_cyclist(list(c(1,5,4),c(2,9)),comma=FALSE)
