R help - Nov 2011 - Fwd: xtable and sweave: caption placement problem

Dear All

I am running Sweave with xtable and want to put the caption placement  
on top. But this does not work. Any idea what is going wrong?

Here is an example that runs properly with the exception of the  
caption placement in the pdf-file.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{Sweave}
\begin{document}
<<>>x  =  runif(100,  1,  10)
y  =  2  +  3  *  x  + rnorm(100)
@

<<echo=FALSE,results=tex>>library(xtable)
print(xtable(summary(lm(y~x)),
align="rcccc",
caption="Summary  statistics  for  the  regression  model",  
caption.placement="top", label="tab:summary",
digits=2))

@

\end{document}

caption.placement is an argument to print.xtable, not xtable.

print(xtable(summary(lm(y~x)),
              align="rcccc",
              caption="Summary  statistics  for  the  regression 
model",
              label="tab:summary",
              digits=2),
       caption.placement="top")
