[R] latex code in R -> convert to pdf

[baptiste auguie]

Hi,

for basic tables (e.g. display a data.frame without fancy formatting),
you could try the textplot() function from the gplots package, or this
rough function for Grid graphics,

source("http://gridextra.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/R/tableGrob.r")
# install.packages("gridextra", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")

 tc  = textConnection("
      carat   VeryLongWordIndeed color clarity depth
 14513  1.35 Ideal     J     VS2  61.4
 28685  0.30  Good     G    VVS1  64.0
 50368  0.75 Ideal     F     SI2  59.2")
 d = read.table(tc,head=T)
 close(tc)
 grid.newpage()
 grid.table(d)


HTH,

baptiste
