Significant figures

General
1

I need to define a number of significant figures for several columns in my dataframe, but I have not found the method to do it, except one by one.

This is the data I need to convert to 3 significant figures (not rounding decimals):

The values I need, are for example:

1.10
0.0143
0.0142
3.49
...

Thank you.

Are you attempting to truncate the values before continuing to compute ? or is this a purely presentational question ?

It is just a matter of presentation.

myvec <-c( 1.10,0.0143,0.0142,3.49)
formatC(signif(myvec,digits=3), digits=3,format="fg", flag="#")

Thank you, very much!
