I assume R won't easily generate nice reports (unless one starts using Sweave and LaTeX) but perhaps somebody here knows a package that can create report like output for special cases? How can I simply plot output into PDF? Perhaps you know a package I should check out? What do you guys do to create handouts (before actually publishing)? Thanks in advance, Ralf

[R] Handouts / Reports or just simply printing text to PDF?

Just google those terms, they aren't directly associated with R, but can use R to easily generate pdf output (and/or html) in an Sweave type fashion without you having to know any markup language. I can't recommend it highly enough.

[R] Handouts / Reports or just simply printing text to PDF?
Hi Ralf, ?pdf and ?png are good places to start. There is also R2wd: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/R2wd/index.html For exporting R output to word. I wrote a short tutorial session for it here: http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/05/exporting-r-output-to-ms-word-with-r2wd-an-example-session/ Best, Tal ----------------Contact Details:------------------------------------------------------- Contact me: Tal.Galili@gmail.com | 972-52-7275845 Read me: www.talgalili.com (Hebrew) | www.biostatistics.co.il (Hebrew) | www.r-statistics.com (English) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Fri, Jun 25, 2010 at 5:35 AM, Ralf B <ralf.bierig@gmail.com> wrote:> I assume R won't easily generate nice reports (unless one starts using > Sweave and LaTeX) but perhaps somebody here knows a package that can > create report like output for special cases?
