In metrumrg: Pharmacometric Tools for Data Preparation, Modeling, Simulation, and Reporting

Description

Convert data.frame to latex table.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
ltable(
	x, 
	caption = NULL, 
	cap = caption, 
	cap.top = TRUE, 
	label = NULL, 
	options = "!htpb", 
	environments = "center", 
	source = NULL,
	file = NULL,
	source.label='source: ',
	file.label='file: ',
	basefile=FALSE,
	footnote.size='tiny',
	...
)
## S3 method for class 'table'
ltable(x,...)
## S3 method for class 'matrix'
ltable(x, caption = names(dimnames(x))[[2]],...)

Arguments

x	data.frame
caption	full version of the caption
cap	short version of the caption, for list of tables
cap.top	Should caption be placed at the top, instead of bottom?
label	optional label
options	options for latex table environment
environments	extra environments to nest between ‘table’ and ‘tabular’.
source	optional source attribution
file	optional file name
source.label	optional text to preceed source if specified
file.label	optional text to preceed file if specified
basefile	if TRUE, strip path from file for display purposes
footnote.size	font size for source and file, etc.
...	passed to tabular

Details

Converts data.frame to tabular, then wraps it in specified environments, then wraps result in a latex table environment. Result is returned visibly, or if file is specified it is printed to file and returned invisibly.

If source and source.label are defined, they will be printed in a tiny font immediately under the table (bound to the tabular element). If file and file.label are defined as well, they will be printed (tiny) under source. Set source.label to NULL to suppress embedding of source; set to empty string to suppress source label. Set file.label to NULL to suppress embedding of file; set to empty string to suppress file label. Note that file controls file destination, whether or not represented in the result.

ltable is generic. You can write methods for other classes. ltable.table reclassifies its argument as matrix. ltable.matrix tries to capture the column names as a caption, and (like tabular.matrix) converts its argument to data.frame, capturing rownames as a column in the first position if rownames are suitably named.

as.ltable is an alias for ltable.
