latex.tabular {tables}

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 class 'tabular'
toLatex(object, file = "", options = NULL, append = FALSE, ...)
latex.tabular(object, ...)

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.

Value

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

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

Note

For historical reasons, the toLatex() function with a non-empty file argument doesn't write to the file until the returned value is printed.
