Dear R users,
I am new to Latex and I am using the R package xtable to generate tables.
I want to produce a table that is very long. in the landscape format, but
I would need to rescale the table so that it fits in the page. xtable
enables me to have the landscape format, but I cannot rescale it, and there
seems to be a problem, if I use scalebox in Latex on my output produced
with stable and the option sidewaystable. Do you know any way to achieve
this result with xtable or another R package?
Let's look at the following example:
In R, I use the following code
##############
outfile<- matrix(nrow=3, ncol=3)
outfile[2,1]<- 6.912
outfile[3,1]<- 400
outfile[2,2]<- 8.9722
outfile[2,2]<- 500
outfile[2,3]<- 4.00
outfile[3,3]<- 400
library(xtable)
outfile<- data.frame(outfile)
colnames(outfile)<- c(" ","V1", "V2")
outfile<- xtable(outfile, caption= "Title", include.rownames=F,
align=rep("c", 4), digit=2)
print(outfile, include.rownames=F, floating.environment='sidewaystable')
################
I was wondering if it is possible to rescale in Latex when the code was
generated through xtable. Indeed, when I run the latex table obtained from
xtable, and use scale box, it does not work (and the problem comes from
scalebox, which works otherwise).
\documentclass[11pt]{report}
\usepackage{rotating}
%\usepackage[counterclockwise]{rotating}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{float}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\scalebox{0.70} { %resize
% latex table generated in R 2.13.1 by xtable 1.6-0 package
% Tue Jan 31 23:26:10 2012
\begin{sidewaystable}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
\hline
& V1 & V2 \\
\hline
& & \\
6.91 & 500.00 & 4.00 \\
400.00 & & 400.00 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{Title}
\end{center}
\end{sidewaystable}
}
\end{document}
Thanks a lot for any advice.
Best,
Aurelien
