latexTabular {Hmisc} | R Documentation

## Convert a Data Frame or Matrix to a LaTeX Tabular

### Description

`latexTabular` creates a character vector representing a matrix or data frame in a simple tabular environment.

### Usage

    latexTabular(x, headings=colnames(x),
                 align =paste(rep('c',ncol(x)),collapse=''),
                 halign=paste(rep('c',ncol(x)),collapse=''),
                 helvetica=TRUE, translate=TRUE, hline=0, center=FALSE, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | a matrix or data frame, or a vector that is automatically converted to a matrix
`headings` | a vector of character strings specifying column headings for latexTabular, defaulting to `x`'s `colnames`. To make multi-line headers use the newline character inside elements of `headings`.
`align` | a character strings specifying column alignments for latexTabular, defaulting to `paste(rep('c',ncol(x)),collapse='')` to center. You may specify `align='c|c'` and other LaTeX tabular formatting.
`halign` | a character strings specifying alignment for column headings, defaulting to centered.
`helvetica` | set to `FALSE` to use default LaTeX font in latexTabular instead of helvetica.
`translate` | set to `FALSE` if column headings and table entries are already in LaTeX format, otherwise `latexTabular` will run them through `latexTranslate`
`hline` | set to 1 to put `hline` after heading, 2 to also put `hline`s before and after heading and at table end
`center` | set to `TRUE` to enclose the tabular in a LaTeX `center` environment
`...` | if present, `x` is run through `format.df` with those extra arguments

### Value
