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')
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.

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.

I set these options:
options(latexcmd='pdflatex')
options(dviExtension='pdf')
options(xdvicmd='xdvi')
Maybe one too many? I'm running in Linux.

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

I'm surprised no one mentioned alternatives to LaTeX, which is not
necessarily installed on all systems and it's also quite a

Okay, all.
I have it to work using this:

The program 'gv' is installed on just about any linux system.
It has many available options (one, which might be useful,
being -watch, whose effect is that if the file being displayed
is changed, e.g. by being over-written by a new file with the
same name, then 'gv' automatically updates what it
?latex
answers a lot of these questions.
The design intent of the latex() function is to construct one table at
a time in its own .tex flle.
The user then collects these and inserts them into a full document,
either manually or with Sweave.
The individual table has no context and no caption.

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.
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.
