"xtable" results doesn't correspond to data.frame

That table below is not the table from your first mail.

However I would do something like:

library(xtable)
testdata<-data.frame(gender=c(rep("male",3),rep("female",4))
testtab<-as.data.frame(table(testdata))
pct<-function(x){
  x/sum(x)*100
  }
testtab$percent<-pct(testtab$Freq)

rownames(testtab)<-c(1,2)
colnames(testtab)<-c("gender","Freq","%")

#it looks like:

testtab

#and latex:

xtable(testtab,digits=2)

% latex table generated in R 2.5.0 by xtable 1.4-6 package

\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rlrr}
  \hline
 & gender & Freq & \% \\
  \hline
1 & female &   3 & 42.86 \\
  2 & male &   4 & 57.14 \\
   \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}

I hope this is now how expected.

Cheers
Stefan

This is what is not expected. Having "Gender" repeated twice and the
labels for gender missing. Will format the digits and align once
everything is right.
Thanks.
