[R] writing a table in the device (pdf in this case)

[Greg Snow]

You probably want to look at "Sweave" in the "utils" package or the "odfWeave" package.

Both let you set up a planned set of commands interspersed with text (notes, explanations, full report, etc.) and then you process the file and get the output (and commands) in either a LaTeX file or an OpenOffice writer document, either of which can then be processed to a pdf file.  Both give several options for what input/output to return, inclusion of tables and graphs, and much more.

Hope this helps,
