exportTable: Export a LaTeX table to file

In CALIBERdatamanage: Data Management Tools for CALIBER Datasets

Description

Exports a LaTeX table (as produced by xtable) to a file, optionally converting blanks to dashes and sanitizing text.

Usage

exportTable(data, filename = NULL, align = "l",
    include.rownames = FALSE, include.colnames = FALSE,
    sanitize.text.function = "default",
    blank = "$-$", digits = 3, booktabs = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

data	a data.frame or character matrix
filename	filename to export to. If NULL, the output is returned visibly by the function.
align	character vector indicating column alignment. If include.rownames is TRUE, it should have length equal to the number of columns + 1, otherwise it can have length equal to the number of columns. If it is shorter than this, the last element is repeated to make it the correct length. Unlike with the function xtable, align is not permitted to be a single character string.
include.rownames	whether row names should be included
include.colnames	whether column names should be included
sanitize.text.function	either 'default' or a function to convert special characters to LaTeX, for use by xtable in the output. The default is to handle <, _, >,
blank	text to enter in blank cells
digits	number of significant digits
booktabs	whether to use toprule, midrule etc. in place of {hline. There must be a \usepackage{booktabs} command in the preamble of the LaTeX document.
...	other arguments to pass to xtable.

Value

Returns a character vector with the LaTeX output. This is returned invisibly if filename is not NULL, otherwise it is returned invisibly.
