R Documentation

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, append = FALSE, ...)

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

Value

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

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

Examples

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