grid.table() works well, but using it in sweave creates graphics with very wide margins. I'm sure this has something to do with grid, and not just grid.table. Any idea how I can clip the graphic to the edges of the table graphic? I've looked into viewports, etc, but I can't seem to find anything that will clip a graphic to its edges, perhaps with some defined margin.
any help greatly appreciated! thanks, allie On 5/21/2012 3:33 PM, R.
