[R] Sweave problem, with multicolumn tables from R to LaTeX
Hi there,
I have been using the example provided bellow for a while, and It was
working without any problem. Nevertheless, just since 2-3 days is not
working, probably because I did update.packages(). I have tried to
re-install the older versions of the packages Hmisc() and xtable(), but
still does not work. Can you run this example, and tell me if you got
the same problems?
I use linux-ubuntu, and R 2.8.1
Here is my .Rnw file

\documentclass{article}

The following syntax produce Table \ref{tab:coefAllmod1}, which is not
what I want.
<<label=tab1>>l <- latex(tab.coef.allmodels,
file="tab.coefAllmod1.tex",
rowlabel="Model for",
first.hline.double=FALSE,
rowlabel.just="l",

@
\input{tab.coefAllmod1}
\subsection{What I want, but not getting it right}
The following syntax produce Table \ref{tab:coefAllmod2}, which
contains all the information that i want, but is not giving me
the correct format.
<<label=tab2>>l <- latex(tab.coef.allmodels,
file="tab.coefAllmod2.tex",
rowlabel="Model for",
first.hline.double=FALSE,
rowlabel.just="l",
cgroup=c("MLR","LME"),
n.cgroup=c(4,4),
caption="MLR and LME parameter estimates by stand variables",
caption.loc="top",
label="tab:coefAllmod2",where="!h")
@
\input{tab.coefAllmod2}
I have been using this
syntax for a while, and was working without any problem.
Nevertheless, just since 2-3 days is not working, probably
because I did {\tt update.packages()}.
I have tried to re-install the older versions of the packages
{\tt Hmisc()} and {\tt xtable()}, but still does not work.

[R] Sweave problem, with multicolumn tables from R to LaTeX
Hi Christian,
I've been having this problem as well. There are bug reports about
this (one of them mine):
http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/trac/Hmisc/ticket/25
http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/trac/Hmisc/ticket/28
so hopefully the developers are aware of the problem and will address
it in the next release.
By the way: what do you need the xtable library for? I see that you
loaded it, but never call any of the functions in your example code.
All the best,
Ista
