Not seeing the full column, in Pandas Dataframe

In my dataframe, I have a one column which has a very large set with a lot of information.

When I do: 

df.head()

It crops the column data so I can't see it all. Any ideas how stop the cropping and have scrollbar instead?

Thanks

An easy solution is to just set display.max_colwidth to -1 like:

pd.set_option('display.max_colwidth', -1)

The command df.head() prints the first few rows of a dataframe, df.tail() the last rows. It is 5 by default, but you could say, e.g., df.head(20) to get 20 rows.

df should return the entire data frame and with df[n:m] you can return the rows from n to m, just df[:5] is the same as the head function.
