To appropriately address all these environments, the display behavior is controlled
3737
by several options, which you're encouraged to tweak to suit your setup.

- notebook_repr_html: if True, IPython frontends with HTML support will display
4343
dataframes as HTML tables when possible.
44-
- expand_repr (default True): when the frame width cannot fit within the screen,
45-
the output will be broken into multiple pages to accomedate. This applies to
46-
textual (as opposed to HTML) display only.
47-
- max_columns: max dataframe columns to display. a wider frame will trigger
48-
a summary view, unless `expand_repr` is True and HTML output is disabled.
49-
- max_rows: max dataframe rows display. a longer frame will trigger a summary view.

- width: width of display screen in characters, used to determine the width of lines

when expand_repr is active, Setting this to None will trigger auto-detection of terminal

width, this only works for proper terminals, not IPython frontends such as ipnb.

width is ignored in IPython notebook, since the browser provides horizontal scrolling.

- large_repr (default 'truncate'): when a :class:`~pandas.DataFrame`
45+
exceeds max_columns or max_rows, it can be displayed either as a
46+
truncated table or, with this set to 'info', as a short summary view.

- max_columns (default 20): max dataframe columns to display.

- max_rows (default 60): max dataframe rows display.

Two additional options only apply to displaying DataFrames in terminals,

not to the HTML view:

- expand_repr (default True): when the frame width cannot fit within
54+
the screen, the output will be broken into multiple pages.
55+
- width: width of display screen in characters, used to determine the
56+
width of lines when expand_repr is active. Setting this to None will
57+
trigger auto-detection of terminal width.
