| \title{Invoke a Pager on an R Object} |
| \description{ |
| Displays a representation of the object named by \code{x} in a pager |
| \emph{via} \code{\link{file.show}}. |
| } |
| \usage{ |
| page(x, method = c("dput", "print"), \dots) |
| } |
| \arguments{ |
| \item{x}{An \R object, or a character string naming an object.} |
| \item{method}{The default method is to dump the object \emph{via} |
| \code{\link{dput}}. An alternative is to use \code{print} and |
| capture the output to be shown in the pager. Can be abbreviated.} |
| \item{\dots}{additional arguments for \code{\link{dput}}, |
| \code{\link{print}} or \code{\link{file.show}} (such as \code{title}).} |
| } |
| \details{ |
| If \code{x} is a length-one character vector, it is used as the name |
| of an object to look up in the environment from which \code{page} is |
| called. All other objects are displayed directly. |
| |
| A default value of \code{title} is passed to \code{file.show} if one |
| is not supplied in \code{\dots}. |
| } |

| \code{\link{file.show}}, \code{\link{edit}}, \code{\link{fix}}. |

| To go to a new page when graphing, see \code{\link{frame}}. |
