Hello -
I'm trying to use Hmisc's latex function to produce a postscript file of
a data.frame, using the longtable = TRUE option. When I run, for example,
## sample R code
dvips(latex(data.frame(a = rnorm(100), b = rnorm(100)),
longtable = TRUE), file = "test.ps")
latex runs successfully and a test.ps file is produced. However, I see
the following in the output that the latex command sends to the R buffer.
...
Package longtable Warning: Column widths have changed
(longtable) in table 1 on input line 121.
Package longtable Warning: Table widths have changed. Rerun LaTeX.
...
And the resulting test.ps file has the column headings not aligned (in
my real life example, there are other misalignments).
To resolve this, I am currently going into the /tmp/Rtmp****/ directory
where the .tex files are created by the dvi.latex function, and
rerunning latex on the appropriate file****.tex file.
Is there any thing I'm missing that would make this easier?
Thanks,
Erik Iverson

longtable requires two passes at the LaTeX code to finish the job. If
you use
m <- latex(..., file='my.tex')
and \include{my} in a master document, you can run latex twice on the
master to get the desired result.
