\title{ toString converts its argument to a character string. }
\description{
  This is a helper function for \code{\link{format}}. It converts its argument
 to a string. If the argument is a vector then its elements are
 concatenated with a \code{,} as a separtor. 
 Most methods should honor the width argument. 
 The minimum value for \code{width} is six. 
}
\usage{
toString(x, ...)
toString.default(x, width)
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{ The object to be converted. }
  \item{width}{The returned value is at most the first \code{width} characters.}
  \item{\dots}{ Optional arguments. }
}
\value{
  A character vector of length 1 is returned.
