\title{Print Coefficient Matrices}
\description{
  Utility function to be used in ``higher level'' \code{\link{print}}
  methods, such as \code{\link{print.summary.lm}},
  \code{\link{print.summary.glm}} and \code{\link{print.anova}}.  The
  goal is to provide a flexible interface with smart defaults such
  that often, only \code{x} needs to be specified.
}
\usage{
print.coefmat(x, digits=max(3, getOption("digits") - 2),
              signif.stars = getOption("show.signif.stars"),
              dig.tst = max(1, min(5, digits - 1)),
              cs.ind = 1:k, tst.ind = k + 1, zap.ind = integer(0),
              P.values = NULL,
              has.Pvalue = nc >= 4 && substr(colnames(x)[nc],1,3) == "Pr(",
              na.print = "", \dots)
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{a numeric matrix like object, to be printed.}
  \item{digits}{number of digits to be used for most numbers.}
  \item{signif.stars}{logical; if \code{TRUE}, P-values are additionally
    encoded visually as ``significance stars'' in order to help scanning
    of long coefficient tables.  It defaults to the
    \code{show.signif.stars} slot of \code{\link{options}}.}
  \item{dig.tst}{number of significant digits for the test statistics,
    see \code{tst.ind}.}
  \item{cs.ind}{indices (integer) of column numbers which are (like)
    \bold{c}oefficients and \bold{s}tandard errors to be formatted
    together.}
  \item{tst.ind}{indices (integer) of column numbers for test
    statistics.}
  \item{zap.ind}{indices (integer) of column numbers which should be
    formatted by \code{\link{zapsmall}}, i.e., by ``zapping'' values
    close to 0.}
  \item{P.values}{logical or \code{NULL}; if \code{TRUE}, the last
    column of \code{x} is formatted by \code{\link{format.pval}} as P
    values.  If \code{P.values = NULL}, the default, it is set to
    \code{TRUE} only if \code{link{options}("show.coef.Pvalue")} is
    \code{TRUE} \emph{and} \code{x} has at least 4 columns \emph{and}
    the last column name of \code{x} starts with \code{"Pr("}.}
  \item{has.Pvalue}{logical; if \code{TRUE}, the last column of \code{x}
    contains P values; in that case, it is printed \emph{iff}
    \code{P.values} (above).}
  \item{na.print}{a character string to code \code{\link{NA}} values in
    printed output.}
 \item{\dots}{further arguments for \code{\link{print}}.}
}
\details{
  Despite its name, this is \emph{not} (yet) a method for the generic
  \code{\link{print}} function, because there is no class
  \code{"coefmat"}.
}
\value{Invisibly returns its argument, \code{x}.}}
