[R] xtable and table()

[Andrew Perrin]

Greetings-

A relatively small request, but here goes.

I have some crosstabs, generated with table(), in R:

> table(pg.df$grouptype,pg.df$age)
   
    0  1  2  3  4
  B 1  3  6  8  3
  C 1  3  4 10  7
  P 0  2  9  9  8
  S 2  9  4  5 16
  U 0 15 15  3  0
  X 0  0  0  0  0


I would like to export these in latex format using xtable(). But it
appears there's no appropriate method for xtable():

xtable(data.frame(table(pg.df$grouptype,pg.df$age)))

gives a flattened three-way matrix:
1 & B & 0 & 1.00 \\
2 & C & 0 & 1.00 \\
3 & P & 0 & 0.00 \\
4 & S & 0 & 2.00 \\

(etc.)

xtable(data.frame(table(pg.df$grouptype,pg.df$age)))

gives a similar result.  I'd like:

& 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\
B & 1 & 3 & 6 & 8 & 3 \\
(etc.)

Thanks.
