Render a DataFrame to a console-friendly tabular output.  Parameters 
 
buf:str, Path or StringIO-like, optional, default None


Buffer to write to. If None, the output is returned as a string.  
columns:sequence, optional, default None


The subset of columns to write. Writes all columns by default.  
col_space:int, list or dict of int, optional


The minimum width of each column. If a list of ints is given every integers corresponds with one column. If a dict is given, the key references the column, while the value defines the space to use..  
header:bool or sequence of str, optional


Write out the column names. If a list of strings is given, it is assumed to be aliases for the column names.  
index:bool, optional, default True


Whether to print index (row) labels.  
na_rep:str, optional, default ‘NaN’


String representation of NaN to use.  
formatters:list, tuple or dict of one-param. functions, optional


Formatter functions to apply to columns’ elements by position or name. The result of each function must be a unicode string. List/tuple must be of length equal to the number of columns.  
float_format:one-parameter function, optional, default None


Formatter function to apply to columns’ elements if they are floats. This function must return a unicode string and will be applied only to the non-NaN elements, with NaN being handled by na_rep.  Changed in version 1.2.0.   
sparsify:bool, optional, default True


Set to False for a DataFrame with a hierarchical index to print every multiindex key at each row.  
index_names:bool, optional, default True


Prints the names of the indexes.  
justify:str, default None


How to justify the column labels. If None uses the option from the print configuration (controlled by set_option), ‘right’ out of the box. Valid values are  left right center justify justify-all start end inherit match-parent initial unset.   
max_rows:int, optional


Maximum number of rows to display in the console.  
max_cols:int, optional


Maximum number of columns to display in the console.  
show_dimensions:bool, default False


Display DataFrame dimensions (number of rows by number of columns).  
decimal:str, default ‘.’


Character recognized as decimal separator, e.g. ‘,’ in Europe.  
line_width:int, optional


Width to wrap a line in characters.  
min_rows:int, optional


The number of rows to display in the console in a truncated repr (when number of rows is above max_rows).  
max_colwidth:int, optional


Max width to truncate each column in characters. By default, no limit.  New in version 1.0.0.   
encoding:str, default “utf-8”


Set character encoding.  New in version 1.0.     Returns 
 str or None

If buf is None, returns the result as a string. Otherwise returns None.      See also  to_html

Convert DataFrame to HTML.    Examples 
>>> d = {'col1': [1, 2, 3], 'col2': [4, 5, 6]}
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(d)
>>> print(df.to_string())
   col1  col2
0     1     4
