Arguments

object	For latex.trellis, a "trellis" object, usually a multi-panel object. For latex.ggplot, a "ggplot" object, usually a multi-panel object. For latex.graphicsList, a "graphicsList" object, usually a list of single panel graphics objects. All items in the list must be trellis objects or all must be ggplot objects. For latex.microplotMatrix, a "microplotMatrix" object, the result of calling microplot on a "trellis" or "ggplot" object; a matrix of LaTeX filenames, possibly with axis.names or lab.names or key.name attributes. For latex.includegraphicsMatrix, a "includegraphicsMatrix" object, the result of calling as.includegraphics on a "microplotMatrix" object; a matrix of LaTeX \includegraphics expressions, possibly with axis.names or lab.names or key.name attributes.
device	Function used to construct the graphics files. See microplot.
dataobject	Numeric or character matrix (or data.frame).
data.first	Logical. If TRUE, then output file will have dataobject columns first, then graphics object columns. If FALSE, then output file will have graphics object columns first, then dataobject columns.
figPrefix	See microplot.trellis. The 'latex' macro \includegraphics requires that there be no "." in the filename basename. We replace all "." in the figPrefix by "-".
title	Arguments to Hmisc::latex.
microplotMatrix	The microplotMatrix will be made an attribute of the resulting latex object.
arraystretch	The normal interrow space is multiplied by arraystretch, so changing it from its default value of 1 to 1.5 makes the rows 1.5 times farther apart. Uses the latex.default argument insert.top.
bottom.hline.raise	Character string with latex unit, for example "-10ex". arraystretch interacts with bottom.hline.raise. Pick arraystretch first.
bottom	default argument to latex.default's insert.bottom argument.
col.just.object, col.just.dataobject	Column justification. See formatDF. The default centers graph panel columns and right justifies dataobject columns because it assumes the dataobject contains formatted (hence aligned) numerical data.
n.cgroup	See latex. When cgroup is specified it always appears in .... ncgroup is an optional input here because we have enough information to generate it.
...	Arguments to microplot.trellis, microplot.ggplot, as.includegraphics, latex.includegraphicsMatrix, latex.default.

Details

The explicit result is a "latex" object containing the name of a generated .tex file in the current directory. The file contains a latex \tabular environment holding a \table. The cells of the \table contain each of the filenames wrapped in an \includegraphics expression. To get the name of the created file, you must save the returned value from the "latex" function and display it with print.default.

The print method for "latex" objects wraps the generated file in a minimal complete latex file, runs that file through the system pdflatex or latex (depending on the value of options("latexcmd")) to create a pdf file (or dvi file, depending on the value of options("dviExtension")), and displays it on the screen. To get the name of the displayed file, you must explicitly use the dvi function on the "latex" object and save the otherwise invisible return value. If it is a pdf file it can be included with an \includegraphics expression into another .tex file for use with pdflatex. If it is a dvi file it can be converted with dvips to a .ps file and included with an \includegraphics expression into another .tex file for use with latex.

Value

The value of these latex methods is a "latex" object containing two components.

file	Pathname of the generated .tex file.
style	"graphicx", indicating that the latex \usepackage{graphicx} is required

See demo/HowToUseMicroplot.r for a tutorial. See the demos in demo/latex.r and demo/latex-ggplot.r for an elaborate example.

When one of the ... arguments is file="", the generated LaTeX code is printed to standard output. See the discussion of the file argument in latex to learn how to use this feature with Sweave.

Function latex.includegraphicsMatrix takes the output of as.includegraphics as its input and returns a "latex" object. If there is a key.name attribute, then it is forwarded to latex.default as the insert.bottom argument. The result has an attribute "includegraphicsMatrix" containing its argument object and an attribute "microplotMatrix" containing the "microplotMatrix" object from which the "includegraphicsMatrix" was constructed.

Function latex.microplotMatrix takes the output of microplot as its input and forwards it to latex.includegraphicsMatrix. All ... arguments are forwarded to latex.includegraphicsMatrix. The return value is a "latex" object.

Functions latex.trellis and latex.ggplot and latex.graphicsList take their input and forward it through latex.graphicsClass to microplot and then to latex.microplotMatrix.

The print method for "latex" objects, described in dvi, is to display the latexed file on the screen at 5.5in wide by 7in tall. The dimensions can be changed by an explicit call to the dvi method with other dimensions, for example
dvi(latex(MyTrellisObject), height.panel=11, width.panel=8.5)
See an example in demo("latex", package="microplot", ask=TRUE)

The format of the screen display depends on three options described in latexSetOptions and latex.

For pdflatex normally use:
latexSetOptions("pdflatex")

For latex normally use:
latexSetOptions("latex")

## The example here shows how to locate the generated .tex file and the displayed .pdf file.
## The .tex file can be brought into a larger .tex file with an \include statement.
## The .pdf file can be brought into a larger .tex file with an \includegraphics statement.
