I'd like to save some calculation outputs as a pdf, to incorporate with
others in a document. I've tried
pdf("filename")
name_of_object_to_output
dev.off()
but it doesn't seem to work, appears that this pdf function is for graphics?
Is there a way to output numerical objects to pdf?
Thanks

I'm not sure about .pdf, but look at ?sink to create a text file. You could then print this as a .pdf if you so desired. Rob ------------------------------------------ Robert W.

I know it does not help much, but at least I can tell you that there is such a function.

The latex() function in the Hmisc package will typeset your objects. Embed that in a tex document and run pdflatex.

Hi, If you want grid graphics: For data.frames and matrices, gridExtra has a grid.table() function. For strings (paragraph), Rgraphics has a function too, whose name i forget. It could be possible to combine the two and define a method to display lists as well.
