[R] Output In R

[John Kane]

Hi Shivi,
A correction to my latex/knitr code.  I stupidly forgot the initial problem was the length of the data set.  To get it to print correctly we need to use the LaTeX package 'longtable'.  Clearly too many trees for me to see the forest.
Add \usepackage{longtable} to the Preamble.

#==========Revised code for knitr/R========
<<atable, echo=FALSE, results="asis">>=
library(xtable) 
dat1  <-  data.frame(matrix( rnorm(2000), ncol = 5))
dat1.table  <-  xtable(dat1)
print(dat1.table,tabular.environment='longtable',
floating = FALSE,
include.rownames=FALSE,
booktabs = TRUE)
@
#==============end===================
