I'm experimenting using R as a report writer. I'm told LaTex is the destination for my quest. But ?latex() gives me an error. The package manager does not have it. The package installer can't find it. Where is it? It amazes me that there's not a built in "report" function that can produce the same kinds of reports that every report writer and data analysis software in

I don't see much in the way of an ability to write reports in R the way you can with SAS. You basically have to write a program with R in a 3G way unlike SAS with it's 4G proc print and proc report. Are there similar R functions and packages? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-reports-tp2330733p2330733.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at

Who decides what features are in R and how they are implemented? If there is someone here who has that authority I have this request: A report() function analogous to the plot() function that makes it easy to generate a report from a table of data. This should not be in some auxiliary package, but part of the core R just like plot(). As a long time SAS user I cannot believe R does not have this.

I need to write the output of a R plot to a Java OutputStream. It looks like R insists on sending it's output to a file. Is there anyway to get bytes directly from the output of a plot so I can write it with Java? Writing it to a file is too slow. Is there a parameter in the graphics device function png(..) that directs output to a variable in memory? x <- plot(.) would make sense. --

...edures, They didn't work. Can anyboy help on this?

REXP has an asBytes() method. Will this capture the output of an R plot function if a proper graphics device is used? It appears R insists on sending plot output to a file. Kind of strange since it insists on loading all your data into memory before it can do anything. If so then does anyone know what this would be? I prefer png or jpeg. Example: c is an RConnection REXP r =
