[R] Presentation Quality Tables, e.g., Ten rows, Five columns, with nice headers
Hi R'ers: After browsing for a good package for quality table construction, I found nothing. Any advice? Thanks Bruce -------

You're going to have to be more specific. What output format? What packages did you find and in what ways are they unsatisfactory?

I will assume that a "quality table" is a LaTeX tabular environment, possibly with some nested row or column structures. For that I recommend the latex function in the Hmisc package. The examples in ?latex are simple. Quite complex structures, for example, with nested sets of labled rows and columns, can be built by using some of the many optional arguments. The resulting .tex file can be input into your larger .tex file. The default settings use the system latex command to build and immediately display a dvi file of the table (or other R object). For Mac or WIndows I use pdflatex to build and display a pdf file. This needs options(latexcmd='pdflatex');options(dviExtension='pdf');options(xdvicmd='open') Some linux versions will need a different value for the xdvicmd option. See ?latex for discussion of options. You can embed R graphics into your table using the microplot package. See the examples, vignette, and demos for details. Microplots can be use to place graphics in html files and other file types.

Look again! (e.g. google "make tables in R") (Note that "quality table construction" is subjective and undefined, so it's up to you to either define them sufficiently for others or do your own research to see if what's out there meets your undefined criteria).

Hi Bruce,
Well, a start might be:
bdf<-data.frame(Pre=sample(10:20,10),
During=sample(8:18,10),
EOT=sample(5:15,10),fu3mo=sample(7:17,10),
fu6mo=sample(10:20,10))
rownames(bdf)<-paste("S",1:10,sep="")
plot.new()
library(plotrix)
addtable2plot(0.15,0.2,bdf,display.rownames=TRUE,
bty="o",vlines=TRUE,hlines=TRUE,title="My table")

Quite nice Jim. A little par() magic, some well thought plot window dimensions, and good to go. I wasn't looking, but now that I've seen it, I can imagine uses.

If you are working in LaTeX I'd suggest having a look at the R package?
xtable with the? LaTeX package booktabs.?
