I would like R to produce some tabulated data in a graphical output. When
I say tabulated data, what I mean is a table with rows and columns. This
would be useful when reading in a big file, performing some analysis on
it, and then wanting to display the results as a table.
Something like
plot(x,...)
where x is a matrix
For example, the result could look (approximatly) like...
+-------+-----------+
| A | B |
+-------+-----------+
| 1 | 33278 |
| 2 | 6790 |
...
| 10 | 1 |
| 12 | 6 |
+-------+-----------+
I havent (and cant) see any way to do this. Is there currently any way to
do this? I imagine it could be put together with various other plotting
'fundamentals', but the syntax of the layout format could be a pain to get
right.
OK, I just found xtable (Export tables to LaTeX or HTML). Any plans to
make a print.xtable(x,type="X",...) or print.xtable(x,type="png",...) function?
Any easy way to convert a latex table to an image without actually doing
latex latex.table.file.tex
dvi2png latex.table.file.dvi
?
Cheers,
Dan.
