R: Print an Rpart Object

print.rpart {rpart} | R Documentation

## Print an Rpart Object

### Description

This function prints an `rpart` object. It is a method for the generic function `print` of class `"rpart"`.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'rpart'
    print(x, minlength = 0, spaces = 2, cp, digits = getOption("digits"), ...)

### Arguments

`x` | fitted model object of class `"rpart"`. This is assumed to be the result of some function that produces an object with the same named components as that returned by the `rpart` function.
`minlength` | Controls the abbreviation of labels: see `labels.rpart`.
`spaces` | the number of spaces to indent nodes of increasing depth.
`digits` | the number of digits of numbers to print.
`cp` | prune all nodes with a complexity less than `cp` from the printout. Ignored if unspecified.
`...` | arguments to be passed to or from other methods.

### Details

This function is a method for the generic function `print` for class `"rpart"`. It can be invoked by calling print for an object of the appropriate class, or directly by calling `print.rpart` regardless of the class of the object.

### Side Effects

A semi-graphical layout of the contents of `x$frame` is printed. Indentation is used to convey the tree topology. Information for each node includes the node number, split, size, deviance, and fitted value. For the `"class"` method, the class probabilities are also printed.
