As an R absolute beginner and an expert (very old) statistician and latex user, I'm interested in using R to produce AUTOMAGICALLY tables in latex format. I mean I would like to have the means to build an R procedure generating **FROM INSIDE** a table or a graph to be inserted directly into latex. I've read http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/doc/summary.pdf where the author speaks of S (not R) and Latex integration via a Hmisc library which allows to make automatic, calculated tables in latex. Unfortunately this library doesn't seem to be present in R (I tried to follow the example issuing a "library(Hmisc)" and then, plainly, "library()" but nothing with the same functions appeared). Any help on how to set up that integration? And, where can I find documentation/examples on that? Thanks Vittorio
Hi! Most probably you did not install Hmisc on your system. It is not included in R-base. You find it on CRAN. (cran.r-project.org -> source for contributed packages) After installing it for your system the examples may well work.

And, where can > I find documentation/examples on that?A Google Groups search matches many postings, e.g. this one pan.2003.10.09.14.08.58.922000 at NIETZOLEUKskynet.be: "I don't know how well gnuplot integrates with LaTeX, but R certainly does. If you use the Sweave-package (delivered by default with R), you can put your R code right into your LaTeX document. Process your document once with R and then with LaTeX and that's it: a nice paper with the results of your analyses. If you _really_ want to speed up things, you can use R from within your favorite emacs editor (install ESS mode, i.e. emacs speaks statistics)." At the moment I don't have any further information because I'm also at the beginning of integrating R into LaTeX. But from the german newsgroup de.comp.text.tex I know, that it's possible and even easy. Reading the following document was suggested to me: http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~leisch/Sweave/Sweave-manual-20020507.pdf And LaTeX-tables could really be done with library(hmisc). Maybe you have to install the hmisc-package. It isn't yet in my machine, too. How to install a package describes the FAQ (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html): 5.2 How can add-on packages be installed?

Whoops. Should be courses, not course, below.

Maybe a misestimation. Before I made the decision to migrate to R I read a book about S and S-Plus in german and some introductions found in the web. At the moment I'm waiting for "Introductory Statistics with R" by Peter Dalgaard. I hope our bookseller is "fast" enough, because I'm pressed for time. Who's not ... =)? Nevertheless thanks for the hint, I will have a look at this guide!
