Wrapper for a floating LaTeX Table

Description

wrapLaTable() wraps (a table and tabular environment) around the lines of the body of a LaTeX table and utilizes writeLines() to write the LaTeX table.

Usage

wrapLaTable(x, align, do.table = TRUE, placement = "htbp", center = TRUE,
            fontsize = "normalsize", booktabs = TRUE,
            caption = NULL, label = NULL)

Arguments

x	a character vector containing the lines of the body of the table (for “booktabs” tables, everything strictly between \midrule and \bottomrule). A table header can be passed via attributes of x.
align	table columns alignment string (e.g., "lcccS[table-format=1.2]", the notation of "S[...]" coming from the LaTeX package siunitx).
do.table	logical indicating whether a LaTeX ‘table’ environment should be used at all.
placement	(if do.table:) character string containing a LaTeX table placement string such as "htbp".
center	logical indicating whether centering should happen.
fontsize	character string giving a fontsize (such as "tiny", "scriptsize", "footnotesize", "small", "normalsize", "large", "Large", "LARGE", "huge", or "Huge").
booktabs	logical indicating whether a LaTeX table in the format of the LaTeX booktabs package is created.
caption	(if do.table:) character string containing the table caption or NULL for no caption.
label	(if do.table:) character string containing the table label or NULL for no label.

Details

Note that necessary LaTeX packages (such as tabularx) have to be loaded in the preambel of the corresponding .tex or .Rnw file.

Value

a “LaTeX table”, of class "Latex" (where the print method uses writeLines()).

Examples

ftab <- ftable(Titanic, row.vars = 1:2)
fftab <- fftable(ftab)
tlist <- tablines(fftab)

wrapLaTable(structure(tlist$body, head = tlist$head), align = tlist$align,
            caption="The Titanic data set.", label="tab:titanic")
