Re: [R] Custom LaTeX tables
Thanks for the answers! I will play around a bit and
maybe I really need to write a custom wrapper than.
Best,
Werner

A few options are:
- Hmisc latex() supports multicolumn headings and group headings
although the large number of arguments may be daunting
- xtable (and Hmisc's latex too) supports a style of combining
latex fragments with the xtable. The add.to.row= argument on
print.xtable is the
one to notice. e.g. using the builtin BOD data frame this adds a 2nd row
of headings and a group heading:
print(xtable(BOD, align = "r|r|r|"), include.rownames = FALSE,
add.to.row = list(pos = list(0, 3),
command = c("\\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{(days)} &
\\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{(mg/l)} ",
"\\hline \\multicolumn{2}{|l|}{Special Values} \\hline ")))
- given the freedom from restrictions I find its often just best to
do it manually in latex or if you have many tables with the same format
in a report to generate a report-specific table layout wrapper that emits
the latex you need.

Use latex in package Hmisc, it is very powerful and has options to do what you need. And if something is missing, you can plug in your own table handling such as I did quick and very dirty for ftable: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/115684.html Dieter __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
[R] Custom LaTeX tables
Hello, I am very happy that I have Sweave and R to write my papers. But I still have to do some tables by hand since I have not found out how I can customize the latex tables produced by R further (I mainly use xtable()). Like for instance, I have a table which needs an extra row every few rows as a group header and sometimes I want some extra horizontal lines in the table and also a multicolumn heading. How do you guys cope with such cases, do you set the table by hand in the end or have you found a neat way to deal with this?
