R help - Jun 2003 - R and Latex's tables

Hi R lovers!

I have discovered recently that graph can be exported from R in a Latex
compatible file
thanks to the pictex command

I would like to know if there is the equivalent while exporting datas.
Let's say I have a matrix, a data.frame or a list that I would like to
export as a flat text file that is immediatly transcripted into a table
into latex
Is there a macro or package that could transcript it with the tabular or
array environment command, ...

\begin{tabular/array}
..&.&. \\

etc

It would be easier than to use the write.table() function and then
transform my txt file into a latex table manually....

thanks a lot

Package Hmisc by Prof. Frank E Harrell (new windows versions just 
announced!) has a lot of functions to do that.

Also, have a look at package Sweave by Friedrich Leisch, which allows
to combine Latex and R commands.

Hope that helps.

Best wishes

Thomas

The xtable package does a lot of this.
