does anyone know to rezize a table produzed by xtable? The size of my table
is too big and I would like to resize it like using resizebox but it gives
an erros when I try using it
using it its fine
\SweaveOpts{echo=false}
<<results=tex>>xtable(stats0,caption='Número de transacções dos
artigos frequentes e
infrequentes',label='tab:INEStats')
@
but the size is too big
so I try
<<echo=False,results=hide>>load('stats.Rdata')
library(xtable)
\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{
\SweaveOpts{echo=false}
<<results=tex>>xtable(stats0,caption='text',label='tab:Stats')
@
}
and it doesn t work anymore
any hints?

Duncan, Thanks a lot! it sorted out the problem. I was too worried about learning how to use sweave that forgot to try other things :-) Teysseyre, I saw this doc but my table was large in width like almost not fitting the paper size.. Its better now but I wonder how to make better tables using xtable like for example how to use a similar thing to \multirow..does anyone maybe have had to do that before?

You can do this using gsub, e.g.: Data <- data.frame(X = paste(1:10,"%",sep=""),Y=paste(rnorm(10),"%",sep="")) Data$X <- gsub("%","\\\\%",Data$X) Data$Y <- gsub("%","\\\\%",Data$Y) library(xtable) print(xtable(Data)) % latex table generated in R 2.9.1 by xtable 1.5-5 package % Mon Aug 10 08:59:19 2009 \begin{table}[ht] \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{rll} \hline & X & Y \\ \hline 1 & 1$\backslash$\% & -0.745912124497115$\backslash$\% \\ 2 & 2$\backslash$\% & 0.230686751706215$\backslash$\% \\ 3 & 3$\backslash$\% & -0.111726300126857$\backslash$\% \\ 4 & 4$\backslash$\% & 1.47083079027849$\backslash$\% \\ 5 & 5$\backslash$\% & 0.594836094641913$\backslash$\% \\ 6 & 6$\backslash$\% & 0.317505326039211$\backslash$\% \\ 7 & 7$\backslash$\% & -0.545536941018959$\backslash$\% \\ 8 & 8$\backslash$\% & 0.894792412111052$\backslash$\% \\ 9 & 9$\backslash$\% & 0.616813341143258$\backslash$\% \\ 10 & 10$\backslash$\% & -0.469868401424871$\backslash$\% \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{center} \end{table} Also, regarding your initial issue with the wide table: consider printing the table sideways instead of shrinking it. See the Sweave examples vignette for an example. -Ista
