Export objects using Hmisc::latex
Description
Rcmdr interface to export objects to LaTeX code.
Usage
latexExport()
Details
The graphical interface is
limited to exporting objects supported by latex.
For some objects, however, the plug-in attempts to work around the
limitations, either by converting the object to a supported class or
by considering only the relevant element from its structure.
Objects of certain classes are simply ignored and are not displayed
in the dialogue.
If the retrieved object is on the ignored list, initialising the dialogue will fail "silently", display a warning message and attempt re-initialize. If the stack is empty, or contains only objects that cannot be exported, initializing the dialogue will fail "silently" and display an error message.
Depending on the class of the retrieved object, the plug-in will
attempt to propose a vector of approapriate length for the
digits argument. By default, the vector will set all columns
to "2", a double-digit precision.
The size printing option should be any valid LaTeX size (see [1]).
The file option lets you specify an output file. Only the name
of the file should be entered; the plug-in will add the extension
automatically depending on the chosen export format. This behaviour is
intended to prevent the user from making carelesss errors, such as exporting
LaTeX code to an .html file.
Unlike in xtable, the append printing option defaults
to TRUE. The conservative approach was chosen since by default
xtable overwrites existing files; in case of a name clash, it could
be easier to recover the files. The option is ignored when the
file input field is empty, and doesn't affect the process of
outputting to new files.
The plug-in supports previewing the latex code
using a .dvi viewer. However, unlike in
latex, by default the code will not be previewed; the user
must check the relevant option. Also, the
LaTeX code will be printed on screen prior to calling
the viewer. To choose the programme used for previewing, for example,
set options(xdvicmd='evince') to use Evince
(see Startup).
