the last one is wrong. That is the one for which I don't know the
right answer on linux.
'xdvi' displays dvi files. you need to display a pdf file.
whatever is the right program on linux to display pdf files is what
belongs there.
On Macintosh we can avoid knowing by using 'open', which means use the
system standard.
I don't know what the linux equivalent is, either the exact program or
the instruction to use the standard.
xdg-open (but like OS X it depends on having the right associations set).

I set these options:

Maybe one too many? I'm running in Linux.

It looks like you skipped the step of setting the options.
the latex function doesn't do pdflatex (by default it does regular
latex) unless you set the options
as I indicated.

Ah yes, you're right.
The log has this error:
! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.
Though can't really find much online on how to resolve it.

pdflatex appears to have run, because it exited. You should look at the tex log
file, the problem is more likely that the latex you sent out to pdflatex was
incomplete.

Thanks! I do get several errors though when running on Linux.
Running your code, I get this:
Error in system(cmd, intern = TRUE, wait = TRUE) :
error in running command
Fiddling around with the code and running this:
tmp <- matrix(1:9,3,3)
tmp.tex <- latex(tmp, file='tmp.tex')
print.default(tmp.tex)
tmp.dvi <- dvi(tmp.tex)
tmp.dvi
tmp.tex
dvips(tmp.dvi)
dvips(tmp.tex)
library(tools)
texi2dvi(file='tmp.tex', pdf=TRUE, clean=TRUE)
I get this:
Error in texi2dvi(file="tmp.tex",, :
Running 'texi2dvi' on 'tmp.tex' failed.
Messages:
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: pdflatex exited with bad status, quitting.
I've read that it may have something to do with the path of pdflatex.
Sys.which('pdflatex')
pdflatex
"/usr/bin/pdflatex"
Sys.which('texi2dvi')
texi2dvi
"/usr/bin/texi2dvi"
file.exists(Sys.which('texi2dvi'))
[1] TRUE
file.exists(Sys.which('pdflatex'))
[1] TRUE
Is there a specific path I should be giving with pdflatex and/or
'texi2dvi to make this work?
Thanks!

yes of course, and the answer is latex() in the Hmisc package.
Why were you excluding it?
Details follow
Rich
The current release of the Hmisc package has this capability on
Macintosh and Linux.
For Windows, you need the next release 3.14-7 which is available now
at github.
## windows needs these lines until the new Hmisc version is on CRAN
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("Hmisc", "harrelfe")
## All operating systems
options(latexcmd='pdflatex')
options(dviExtension='pdf')
## Macintosh
options(xdvicmd='open')
## Windows, one of the following
options(xdvicmd='c:\\progra~1\\Adobe\\Reader~1.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe')
## 32-bit windows
options(xdvicmd='c:\\progra~2\\Adobe\\Reader~1.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe')
## 64 bit windows
## Linux
## I don't know the xdvicmd value
## this works on all R systems
library(Hmisc)
tmp <- matrix(1:9,3,3)
tmp.dvi <- dvi(latex(tmp))
print.default(tmp.dvi) ## prints filepath of the pdf file
tmp.dvi ## displays the pdf file on your screen

Hi,
I have a simple question. I know there are plenty of packages out
there that can provide code to generate a table in latex. But I was
wondering whether there was one out there where I can generate a
table
from my data (which ever way I please) then allow me to save it as a
pdf?
Thanks
K.
