Dear R users,
I am new to Latex and I am using the R package xtable to generate tables.
I want to produce a table that is very long.  in the landscape format, but
I would need to rescale the table so that it fits in the page. xtable
enables me to have the landscape format, but I cannot rescale it, and there
seems to be a problem, if I use scalebox in Latex on my output produced
with stable and the option sidewaystable. Do you know any way to achieve
this result with xtable or another R package?

Let's look at the following example:
In R, I use the following code

##############
outfile<- matrix(nrow=3, ncol=3)
outfile[2,1]<- 6.912
outfile[3,1]<- 400
outfile[2,2]<- 8.9722
outfile[2,2]<- 500
outfile[2,3]<- 4.00
outfile[3,3]<- 400



library(xtable)
outfile<- data.frame(outfile)
colnames(outfile)<- c(" ","V1", "V2")

outfile<- xtable(outfile, caption= "Title", include.rownames=F,
align=rep("c", 4), digit=2)
print(outfile, include.rownames=F, floating.environment='sidewaystable')
################

I was wondering if it is possible to rescale in Latex when  the code was
generated through xtable.  Indeed, when I run the latex table obtained from
xtable, and use scale box, it does not work (and the problem comes from
scalebox, which works otherwise).

\documentclass[11pt]{report}

\usepackage{rotating}

 %\usepackage[counterclockwise]{rotating}

\usepackage{graphics}

\usepackage{float}


\pagestyle{empty}


\begin{document}

\scalebox{0.70} { %resize


% latex table generated in R 2.13.1 by xtable 1.6-0 package

% Tue Jan 31 23:26:10 2012

\begin{sidewaystable}[ht]

\begin{center}

\begin{tabular}{ccc}

  \hline

  & V1 & V2 \\

  \hline

 &  &  \\

  6.91 & 500.00 & 4.00 \\

  400.00 &  & 400.00 \\

   \hline

\end{tabular}

\caption{Title}

\end{center}

\end{sidewaystable}


}

\end{document}



Thanks a lot for any advice.


Best,

Aurelien
