Hi
I am using the latex() command from the Hmisc package to export table
to latex. For formating of the values, I use the format() function. But
I don't manage to get the format of the values right: I don't want
scientific notation, but if I say scientific=FALSE, I get many digits
after the decimal point which I can not control with digits=... and
nsmall=... in the format command.
Is there another way of formating the values to three decimal digits?
Or another way of exporting them to LaTeX?
Thanks
Rainer

Try to download latex.s from http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/svn/R/Hmisc/branches/release_3.2-1/R/latex.s do library(Hmisc) source("latex.s") and check if the problem disappears. If it does, write a mail to [charles.dupont at vanderbilt.edu] and ask him to make the version public as soon as possible. Dieter

Typically, I use the xtable-package. Please let me know if the following code is not doing what you hope for. Best, Roland mydata <- data.frame(Category=LETTERS[1:10], Percentage=runif(10)) library(xtable) xtable(mydata, digits=c(0,0,3)) ### LaTeX format => default #### you can even create an HTML table print(xtable(mydata, digits=c(0,0,5)), type="HTML") ---------- This mail has been sent through the MPI for Demographic Rese...{{dropped}}
