You effectively have two options: 1) process the table in R to create a LaTeX file which you can insert into your LaTeX document (see response from Ista), or 2) you can export your data as a csv file, and then process it in LaTeX. There are several packages, which can read csv files and format it as a table (e.g. http://mancoosi.org/~abate/latex-tables-csv-files, or http://texblog.org/2012/05/30/generate-latex-tables-from-csv-files-excel/) . Depending on how complicated your table is, if it is a longtable, or landscape, the one option might work better then the other, and it depends on your preferences. Some editors actually offer the option to import a csv file and convert it to LaTeX, gnumeric (and possibly LibreOffice) can export to LaTeX, but I would possibly use option 2) or 1) Cheers, Rainer > > Thanks Christian > > > > ----- Christian Langkamp christian.langkamp-at-gmxpro.de > > -- View this message in context: > http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-table-as-integrable-object-for-large-Latex-Documents-avoiding-SWeave-tp4640183.html > > Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlAqGv4ACgkQoYgNqgF2egpaEACfQtFoM+DWOtEuNv8pS8cE85iy 1pYAnix3ORL5dZBHVnnrR+3IbZOS5e1G =vuH6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ______________________________________________ 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.
