datatable.options.display.max_column_width

datatable.options.display.
max_column_width
=
value
source

This option controls the threshold for the column’s width to be truncated. If a column’s name or its values exceed the max_column_width, the content of the column is truncated to max_column_width characters when printed.

This option applies to both the rendering of a frame in a terminal, and the rendering in a Jupyter notebook. However, it will have no effect for data in fixed-width columns, such as boolean, numeric, date or time.

Parameters

return
int

Current max_column_width value. Initially, this option is set to 100.

value
int

New max_column_width value, cannot be less than 2. If value equals to None, the column’s content would never be truncated.

except
ValueError

The exception is raised when the value is less than 2.
