(This is more of a comment than an answer. I am only able to achieve part of what I think was your goal.) Since there is no argument to latex named 'collabel', I am guessing you may be getting partial name matching to `collabel.just`, and I doubt that 'Vote' is a valid argument for the Latex interpreter. `rowlabel` is supposed to be a column name in the 'object' argument. I'm not sure I can say what is supposed to happen when you give it a column name that is not in the object. I wasn't able to get the example in the help(latex) page to display rownames. I suspect you need to refer to the vignette: http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/pub/Main/StatReport/summary.pdf .... and I think you need the argument rowname rather than rowlabel > ww<- latex( test, rowname=c("E","F"), rgroup="Letters") > ww
