How to Display Full (Non-Abbreviated) Matrix Column Names

[Mauricio Caceres]

I can't seem to figure it out with "matrix list" or "matlist". Neither seems to admit a way to not abbreviate matrix column names. What is the way to do this?

[Andrew Musau]

You could transpose the matrix and use the -twidth()- option of matlist.

sysuse auto, clear
mkmat disp gear head in 1/5, mat(X)
matlist X
mat X= X'
matlist X, twidth(30)

Res.:

. matlist X
