Convert a Data Frame or Matrix to a LaTeX Tabular

Description

latexTabular creates a character vector representing a matrix or data frame in a simple ‘⁠tabular⁠’ environment.

Usage

latexTabular(x, headings=colnames(x),
             align =paste(rep('c',ncol(x)),collapse=''),
             halign=paste(rep('c',ncol(x)),collapse=''),
             helvetica=TRUE, translate=TRUE, hline=0, center=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x	a matrix or data frame, or a vector that is automatically converted to a matrix
headings	a vector of character strings specifying column headings for ‘⁠latexTabular⁠’, defaulting to x's colnames. To make multi-line headers use the newline character inside elements of headings.
align	a character strings specifying column alignments for ‘⁠latexTabular⁠’, defaulting to paste(rep('c',ncol(x)),collapse='') to center. You may specify align='c|c' and other LaTeX tabular formatting.
halign	a character strings specifying alignment for column headings, defaulting to centered.
helvetica	set to FALSE to use default LaTeX font in ‘⁠latexTabular⁠’ instead of helvetica.
translate	set to FALSE if column headings and table entries are already in LaTeX format, otherwise latexTabular will run them through latexTranslate
hline	set to 1 to put hline after heading, 2 to also put hlines before and after heading and at table end
center	set to TRUE to enclose the tabular in a LaTeX center environment
...	if present, x is run through format.df with those extra arguments

Value

a character string containing LaTeX markup
