Thanks Ista.
Your suggestion works.
When I make the option floating=F, the caption no longer appears in the Tex
code generated by xtable. If I had \caption {Title} in the code, it does
not seem to work.
\documentclass[11pt]{report}
\usepackage{rotating}
%\usepackage[counterclockwise]{rotating}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{float}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\begin{sidewaystable}[ht]
\scalebox{0.7}{
% latex table generated in R 2.13.1 by xtable 1.6-0 package
% Wed Feb 1 10:29:25 2012
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
\hline
& V1 & V2 \\
\hline
& & \\
6.91 & 500.00 & 4.00 \\
400.00 & & 400.00 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{Title}
}
\end{sidewaystable}
\end{document}
So, I am faced with a dilemma. If I use the code from my previous
email, I could have the landscape and the title work, but if I
incorporate scalebox in Latex it does not work. If I use the
floating=F solution, I can rescale and landscape, but I have troubles
having a caption. That's weird.
Best,
