If you are using the latex function in the Hmisc library, I have to admit to putting more work into that for Linux/Unix than for Windows. The functions such as print.latex and related ones need modification for Windows (volunteers welcome) or you need to carefully set up your system so that the latex and xdvi commands are in your system path and also install the cygwin utilities (to get cat, cd, etc.). The functions do check options(latexcmd= xdvicmd= dvipscmd=) which you can easily specify for your LaTeX installation (and put in .Rprofile) when your executables are not "latex" "xdi" "dvips". Note that to use latex just for creating the .tex file (e.g., w <- latex(myobject,fi='/tmp/my.tex') you only need to get the "latex" executable working with latex( ). -Frank Harrell> > -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- > r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html > Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" > (in the "body", not the subject !)

Hi Christian,
unfortunalty I can't help you with your problem (but I see
Mr. Harrell has send an answer).
Maybe you are interested in another solution how
to combine Latex and R (using "Sweave"[1]).
1. You need the library "tools" from CRAN
2. Save the next lines as 'c:\beispiel.rnw'
% ---- beispiel.rnw ----------
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
% ------ R-Code - Berechnung XYZ -------
<<Kap1,echo=T>>setwd("c:/")
library(hmisc)
a <- c(3,4,5,6,7,6,5,4,3,6)
b <- c(6,5,4,5,6,7,8,6,5,5)
mean.a <- mean(a)
da <- density(a)
db <- density(b)
@
% ------ R-Code - Berechnung XYZ -------
The mean of a is \Sexpr{mean.a}.
The kernel density from a and b:
\setkeys{Gin}{width=0.6\textwidth}
\begin{center}
<<pl1,fig=T,echo=F>>plot(da, xlim=range(da$x, db$x),
ylim=range(da$y,
db$y),main="XYZ")
lines(db, col="red")
@
\end{center}
\begin{center}
<<tab1,echo=F>>summary.stats <- cbind(
'Mean (b)'=mean(b),
'SD (a)'=sd(a))
latex(summary.stats, fi='table.tex')
@
\input{table}
\end{center}
\end{document}
% ---- beispiel.rnw ----------
3. Start R
4. R> library(tools)
5. R> Sweave("C:/beispiel.rnw")
6. Now you can "latexen" the file 'beispiel.tex'
Regards Patrick
[1] See:
http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~leisch/Sweave/Sweave-manual-20020507.pdf
[2] There is a new LaTeX-package called 'ctable'.
Purpose: "The 'ctable' package lets you easily typeset centered,
captioned table and
figures floats with optional footnotes [...]." Maybe you take a look.

Thanks for the replies, and the recommendation to sweave what i'm known and since 3 months test for my purposes ! Vera, as a newbie in latex i have no problems with MikeTex /WinEdt ! http://www.winedt.com In latex you can load additional packages, like in R........ The results in comparison to word are great, and fancyhdr (use google !) is a nice package for page-layout. Create a folder in your MikeTex installation. i.e. C:\texmf\tex\latex\fancyhdr and copy the fanyhdrFile like fancyhdr.sty etc. in this folder hope this helps, christian Vera, Graciella wrote:>Hi, > >Not having used latex before I have to prepare a document and will only be >able to work on windows.
