Hello:
I'm working with a 2-dimensional table that looks sort of like test below.
I'm trying to produce latex code that will add dimension names for both the
rows and the columns.
In using the following code, latex chokes when I include collabel='Vote'
but it's fine without it.
The code below prouces the latex code further below. I'm confused by this,
because it looks like it's creating two bits of text for each instance of
\multicolumn. Is that really allowed in \multicolumn?
Could someone clarify?
Thank you!
Yours, SJK
library(Hmisc)
test<-as.table(matrix(c(50,50,50,50), ncol=2))
latex(test, rowlabel='Gender',collabel='Vote', file='')
% latex.default(test, rowlabel = "Gender", collabel =
"vote", file = "")
%
\begin{table}[!tbp]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lrr}
\hline\hline
\multicolumn{1}{l}{Gender}&\multicolumn{1}{vote}{A}&\multicolumn{1}{l}{B}\tabularnewline
\hline
A&$50$&$50$\tabularnewline
B&$50$&$50$\tabularnewline
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}

Hi Simon
the equivalent in xtable is
library(xtable)
xtable(test)
% latex table generated in R 2.15.2 by xtable 1.7-0 package
% Sat Mar 16 08:14:01 2013
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rrr}
\hline
& A & B \\
\hline
A & 50.00 & 50.00 \\
B & 50.00 & 50.00 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
I am wondering if the class is making things hard
test
A B
A 50 50
B 50 50
# as a data.frame
data.frame(test)
Var1 Var2 Freq
1 A A 50
2 B A 50
3 A B 50
4 B B 50
# Add column names
dimnames(test) <- list(c("Gender A", "Gender B"),
c("Vote A", "Vote B"))
> test
Vote A Vote B
Gender A 50 50
Gender B 50 50
xtable(test)
xtable(test)
% latex table generated in R 2.15.2 by xtable 1.7-0 package
% Sat Mar 16 08:34:34 2013
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rrr}
\hline
& Vote A & Vote B \\
\hline
Gender A & 50.00 & 50.00 \\
Gender B & 50.00 & 50.00 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
I suppose a similar thing will happen with latex saves detaching
latex is a bit different in that it gives you multicolumn for the
header columns which can be modified (I have not used latex) for justification
I think the problem is in the arrangement of the data or the names
that you are sending to latex() someone else may have a different opinion

[R] latex(test, collabel=) returns wrong latex code?

I am only able to achieve part of what I think was your goal.) Since there is no argument to latex named 'collabel', I am guessing you may be getting partial name matching to `collabel.just`, and I doubt that 'Vote' is a valid argument for the Latex interpreter. `rowlabel` is supposed to be a column name in the 'object' argument. I'm not sure I can say what is supposed to happen when you give it a column name that is not in the object. I wasn't able to get the example in the help(latex) page to display rownames. I suspect you need to refer to the vignette: http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/pub/Main/StatReport/summary.pdf .... and I think you need the argument rowname rather than rowlabel> ww<- latex( test, rowname=c("E","F"), rgroup="Letters") > ww-------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
