I am using the latex() command from the Hmisc package to export table to latex. For formating of the values, I use the format() function. But I don't manage to get the format of the values right: I don't want scientific notation, but if I say scientific=FALSE, I get many digits after the decimal point which I can not control with digits=... and nsmall=... in the format command. Is there another way of formating the values to three decimal digits? Or another way of exporting them to LaTeX?
There were a few bugs in the current versions of format.df (called by latex), and the "scientific" problem could have been among them. Try to download latex.s from http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/svn/R/Hmisc/branches/release_3.2-1/R/latex.s do library(Hmisc) source("latex.s")
Thanks - I did it but it still doesn't work. I should have mentioned that I am using the function format() from the base package to create a data.frame which I then give to latex() to export - without formating from latex(). I am not using the format functions of the Hmisc package as I read that there are problems with them. Rainer
and check if the problem disappears. If it does, write a mail to [charles.dupont at vanderbilt.edu] and ask him to make the version public as soon as possible. Dieter
