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. The toLatex.tabular method works with the toLatex generic from utils.

Usage

toLatex(object, ...)
# S3 method for tabular
toLatex(object, file = "", options = NULL, append = FALSE, ...)
latex.tabular(object, ...)

Value

The toLatex() method returns x invisibly, and prints the LaTeX script to the console.

table_options() and booktabs() return the previous settings.

Arguments

object: The tabular object.
file: A filename or connection to which to write the LaTeX code, or "" to write to the standard output.
options: A list of options to set for the duration of the call.
append: If TRUE, opens file for appending (if it is a filename rather than a connection).
...: Settings for default formatting. See Details below.

Details

The toLatex() method produces LaTeX output suitable for inclusion in a Sweave document.

The latex.tabular function is set up to work as a method for the latex generic in Hmisc, but is not registered as a method, so that tables can work when Hmisc is not installed.

Examples

Run this code

tab <- tabular( (Species + 1) ~ (n=1) + Format(digits=2)*
         (Sepal.Length + Sepal.Width)*(mean + sd), data=iris )
toLatex(tab)
save <- booktabs()
toLatex(tab)
table_options(save)
