Hi, If you choose to use LaTeX and xtable, you can also enhance the visual presentation of the output tables using the booktab LaTeX package. Have a look at:
http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~srg/softwaretools/document/start/booktabs.pdf
You can change the horizontal line tags \hline to \toprule, \midrule,
and \bottomrule, at your discretion. There was also a recent thread about rownames quirks with xtable:

The LaTeX ctable style, which uses booktab I believe, is slightly more up to date and has more options. The latex function in the Hmisc package has a ctable option as well as a booktabs option.

Hi R-heplers,
I would like to print various matrices, dataframes, tables, etc to files, preferably nicely formatted postscript for import into papers.
Is there a way to do this?
I know ?cat, ?writeLines, ?format, ?paste. But I am not sure of a
good
combination of these in order to get a nice looking table of
information.
Any ideas? I guess I want (almost) publication ready output, just
like
you get for "plot"...
(I *don't* want to print to the console, btw)
As Sundar said, xtable is probably what you want. You may also benefit from the fairly new "addmargins" function.
