Re: [R] a question about "latex" in Hmisc and .dvi file
Your example showed up in landscape for me on the pdf file. I needed to rotate the image in the Adobe Reader. I like the appearance better with show.dvi(dvi(x.tex <- latex(report,landscape=TRUE), width=8.5, height=11)) where I changed the paper size in the dvi() command.

Re: [R] a question about "latex" in Hmisc and .dvi file
That function works nicely generating the pdf on the fly instead of the dvi
file,
however, consider the example below. I can't get the pdf to landscape.

landscaped nicely. Do I need anything else inside the latex function?

Notice that I didn't quite get my function into the Hmisc environment and that is why you need the awkward phrase show.dvi(dvi(x.tex <- latex(x))) instead of the smooth phrase latex(x) Somehow with my own data and not using the awkward bit, it worked on my Linux machine?

I set the value of xdvicmd correctly for the pdf viewer on my machine. It
would be possible
to use options()$pdfviewer instead. That is part of the smoothing that I
have implicitly
asked Charles and Frank to do. Also, to make things more automatic.

Re: [R] a question about "latex" in Hmisc and .dvi file
Looks good. I came up with something on my own which was basically to
re-write print.latex. I call pdflatex a few times because with the
longtable package, sometimes things don't line up right until you run
pdflatex multiple times. I think mine is less flexible though, and I
like your solution better.
The only thing I can see to make your solution more flexible is to note
that there is already options("pdfviewer") in R, so maybe you could just
use whatever that is for options("xdvicmd") and then in show.dvi, you
can test
if(viewer == options("pdfviewer")) {
...
}

HI:
If you don't mind me asking this question about latex:
Based on Duncan's comment:

Where in MikTex can I change to pdflatex? everytime I use latex it displays the
dvi file which is a problem because tables that I want to see landscaped don't
work. Thanks
I don't work in a Windows environment, but I think the process is the
same here.
You have to know what the print.latex function in Hmisc is doing. It
simply calls show.latex. If you look at the source for show.latex, it
looks at the latex object passed to it, and inspects the file argument.
If the file argument is the empty string ( "" ), it does not attempt
to show the resulting output in a dvi. If the file argument is a file
name, show.latex will call dvi.latex on the object, which will wrap the
latex code in some basic latex, and call optionsCmds("latex") on the file.
This is by default set to
> optionsCmds("latex")
[1] "/usr/bin/latex"
This will of course create a dvi and attempt to display it with
show.dvi, which will in turn use
> optionsCmds("xdvi")
[1] "xdvi"
to display the resulting file.
I'm guessing MikTex comes with pdflatex, just like it comes with a
binary called latex. You'd just have to find it and make sure it's in
your path.
Then, by setting the relevant options I just described above to pdflatex
and a suitable pdf viewer, you might get what you want. But there might
be other things I haven't thought of that will prohibit this from
working. In fact, it looks like dvi.latex naturally assumes the
extension .dvi from its output, and so this may not work. You/I might
have to write separate functions to carry this out it appears. Of
course, someone else may have already, and I just don't know about it.
