tables (version 0.5)

latex.tabular: Display a tabular object using LaTeX.

Description

This is similar to print.tabular, but it inserts the code to display the table in a LaTeX tabular environment.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'tabular':
latex(object, file="", options=NULL, ...)
table_options(...)
booktabs(...)

Value

The latex() method returns x invisibly, and prints the LaTeX script to the console. table_options() and booktabs() return the previous settings.

Details

The latex() method produces LaTeX output suitable for inclusion in a Sweave document. The table_options() function sets a number of options that control formatting. Currently the options are: [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object] These may be set persistently by calling table_options(), or just for the duration of the call by passing them in a list to latex(). The booktabs() function sets the table_options() values to different defaults, suitable for use with the booktabs LaTeX package.
