R help - Aug 2011 - Writing non-graphic (text) output to PDF

Hi, friends.

I keep coming to you because I'm so new to R and can't seem to figure
out
some simple things.  Sorry.

Consider the following code.  I want to load a table and write out the
structure to a PDF document.  I just can't seem to manage writing
non-graphic output to PDF.  Any help?  I've tried several functions, but
nothing worked.  All I get is the title.

# **********************************************************************
# Load the DEBT table.
  debt <- readRDS("T:/R.Data/Debt.rData")
  dim(debt)
# Open the debt.pdf file for graphics output.
  pdf(
    file=paste(
      "R:/DAS/DMS/FedDebt"
     ,"DataDiscovery"
     ,"DistributionAnalysis"
     ,"Report"
     ,"Debt.pdf"
     ,sep="/"
    )
  )
# =====================================================================# Write
the debt structucture to the output PDF.
  plot.new()
  title("DEBT")
  str(debt)
# ===================================================================== 
dev.off() # Turn off the PDF device.
# ************************** End of Program ****************************

Hi,

Try this,

library(gridExtra)
example(grid.table)

or addtable2plot() in plotrix, or textplot() in gplots, or Hmisc using
latex, or Sweave, ...

HTH,

baptiste
