Hi Simon
the equivalent in xtable is
library(xtable)
xtable(test)
% latex table generated in R 2.15.2 by xtable 1.7-0 package
% Sat Mar 16 08:14:01 2013
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rrr}
\hline
& A & B \\
\hline
A & 50.00 & 50.00 \\
B & 50.00 & 50.00 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
I am wondering if the class is making things hard
test
A B
A 50 50
B 50 50
# as a data.frame
data.frame(test)
Var1 Var2 Freq
1 A A 50
2 B A 50
3 A B 50
4 B B 50
# Add column names
dimnames(test) <- list(c("Gender A", "Gender B"), c("Vote A", "Vote B"))
> test
Vote A Vote B
Gender A 50 50
Gender B 50 50
xtable(test)
xtable(test)

\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rrr}
\hline
& Vote A & Vote B \\
\hline
Gender A & 50.00 & 50.00 \\
Gender B & 50.00 & 50.00 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
I suppose a similar thing will happen with latex saves detaching
latex is a bit different in that it gives you multicolumn for the
header columns which can be modified (I have not used latex) for justification
I think the problem is in the arrangement of the data or the names
that you are sending to latex() someone else may have a different opinion

Hello:
I'm working with a 2-dimensional table that looks sort of like test below.
I'm trying to produce latex code that will add dimension names for
both the rows and the columns.
In using the following code, latex chokes when I include
collabel='Vote' but it's fine without it.
The code below prouces the latex code further below. I'm confused
by this, because it looks like it's creating two bits of text for
each instance of \multicolumn. Is that really allowed in \multicolumn?
Could someone clarify?
Thank you!
Yours, SJK
library(Hmisc)
test<-as.table(matrix(c(50,50,50,50), ncol=2))
latex(test, rowlabel='Gender',collabel='Vote', file='')
% latex.default(test, rowlabel = "Gender", collabel = "vote", file = "")
%
\begin{table}[!tbp]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lrr}
\hline\hline
\multicolumn{1}{l}{Gender}&\multicolumn{1}{vote}{A}&\multicolumn{1}{l}{B}\tabularnewline
\hline
A&$50$&$50$\tabularnewline
B&$50$&$50$\tabularnewline
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
