display.date_yearfirstboolean

When True, prints and parses dates with the year first, eg 2005/01/20 [default: False] [currently: False]

display.encodingstr/unicode

Defaults to the detected encoding of the console. Specifies the encoding to be used for strings returned by to_string, these are generally strings meant to be displayed on the console. [default: utf-8] [currently: utf-8]

display.expand_frame_reprboolean

Whether to print out the full DataFrame repr for wide DataFrames across multiple lines, max_columns is still respected, but the output will wrap-around across multiple “pages” if its width exceeds display.width. [default: True] [currently: True]

display.float_formatcallable

The callable should accept a floating point number and return a string with the desired format of the number. This is used in some places like SeriesFormatter. See formats.format.EngFormatter for an example. [default: None] [currently: None]

display.html.borderint

A border=value attribute is inserted in the <table> tag for the DataFrame HTML repr. [default: 1] [currently: 1]

display.html.table_schemaboolean

Whether to publish a Table Schema representation for frontends that support it. (default: False) [default: False] [currently: False]

display.html.use_mathjaxboolean

When True, Jupyter notebook will process table contents using MathJax, rendering mathematical expressions enclosed by the dollar symbol. (default: True) [default: True] [currently: True]

display.large_repr‘truncate’/’info’

For DataFrames exceeding max_rows/max_cols, the repr (and HTML repr) can show a truncated table (the default from 0.13), or switch to the view from df.info() (the behaviour in earlier versions of pandas). [default: truncate] [currently: truncate]

display.latex.escapebool

This specifies if the to_latex method of a Dataframe uses escapes special characters. Valid values: False,True [default: True] [currently: True]

display.latex.longtable :bool

This specifies if the to_latex method of a Dataframe uses the longtable format. Valid values: False,True [default: False] [currently: False]

display.latex.multicolumnbool

This specifies if the to_latex method of a Dataframe uses multicolumns to pretty-print MultiIndex columns. Valid values: False,True [default: True] [currently: True]

This sets the maximum number of categories pandas should output when printing out a Categorical or a Series of dtype “category”. [default: 8] [currently: 8]

display.max_columnsint

If max_cols is exceeded, switch to truncate view. Depending on large_repr, objects are either centrally truncated or printed as a summary view. ‘None’ value means unlimited.

In case python/IPython is running in a terminal and large_repr equals ‘truncate’ this can be set to 0 and pandas will auto-detect the width of the terminal and print a truncated object which fits the screen width. The IPython notebook, IPython qtconsole, or IDLE do not run in a terminal and hence it is not possible to do correct auto-detection. [default: 0] [currently: 0]

display.max_colwidthint or None

The maximum width in characters of a column in the repr of a pandas data structure. When the column overflows, a “…” placeholder is embedded in the output. A ‘None’ value means unlimited. [default: 50] [currently: 50]

display.max_dir_itemsint

The number of items that will be added to dir(…). ‘None’ value means unlimited. Because dir is cached, changing this option will not immediately affect already existing dataframes until a column is deleted or added.

This is for instance used to suggest columns from a dataframe to tab completion. [default: 100] [currently: 100]

display.max_info_columnsint

max_info_columns is used in DataFrame.info method to decide if per column information will be printed. [default: 100] [currently: 100]

display.max_info_rowsint or None

df.info() will usually show null-counts for each column. For large frames this can be quite slow. max_info_rows and max_info_cols limit this null check only to frames with smaller dimensions than specified. [default: 1690785] [currently: 1690785]

display.max_rowsint

If max_rows is exceeded, switch to truncate view. Depending on large_repr, objects are either centrally truncated or printed as a summary view. ‘None’ value means unlimited.

In case python/IPython is running in a terminal and large_repr equals ‘truncate’ this can be set to 0 and pandas will auto-detect the height of the terminal and print a truncated object which fits the screen height. The IPython notebook, IPython qtconsole, or IDLE do not run in a terminal and hence it is not possible to do correct auto-detection. [default: 60] [currently: 60]

display.max_seq_itemsint or None

When pretty-printing a long sequence, no more then max_seq_items will be printed. If items are omitted, they will be denoted by the addition of “…” to the resulting string.

If set to None, the number of items to be printed is unlimited. [default: 100] [currently: 100]

display.memory_usagebool, string or None

This specifies if the memory usage of a DataFrame should be displayed when df.info() is called. Valid values True,False,’deep’ [default: True] [currently: True]

display.min_rowsint

The numbers of rows to show in a truncated view (when max_rows is exceeded). Ignored when max_rows is set to None or 0. When set to None, follows the value of max_rows. [default: 10] [currently: 10]

display.multi_sparseboolean

“sparsify” MultiIndex display (don’t display repeated elements in outer levels within groups) [default: True] [currently: True]

display.notebook_repr_htmlboolean

When True, IPython notebook will use html representation for pandas objects (if it is available). [default: True] [currently: True]

display.pprint_nest_depthint

Controls the number of nested levels to process when pretty-printing [default: 3] [currently: 3]

display.precisionint

Floating point output precision in terms of number of places after the decimal, for regular formatting as well as scientific notation. Similar to precision in numpy.set_printoptions(). [default: 6] [currently: 6]

display.show_dimensionsboolean or ‘truncate’

Whether to print out dimensions at the end of DataFrame repr. If ‘truncate’ is specified, only print out the dimensions if the frame is truncated (e.g. not display all rows and/or columns) [default: truncate] [currently: truncate]

display.unicode.ambiguous_as_wideboolean

Whether to use the Unicode East Asian Width to calculate the display text width. Enabling this may affect to the performance (default: False) [default: False] [currently: False]

display.unicode.east_asian_widthboolean

Whether to use the Unicode East Asian Width to calculate the display text width. Enabling this may affect to the performance (default: False) [default: False] [currently: False]

display.widthint

Width of the display in characters. In case python/IPython is running in a terminal this can be set to None and pandas will correctly auto-detect the width. Note that the IPython notebook, IPython qtconsole, or IDLE do not run in a terminal and hence it is not possible to correctly detect the width. [default: 80] [currently: 80]
