Hi,
It looks like you need scalebox inside the sidewaystable environment. If you
must use scalebox, one solution is to use floating=FALSE when you call
print.xtable, and insert the table environment directly in LaTeX, like this:
\begin{sidewaystable}[ht]
\scalebox{0.7}{
<<code1,results=tex,echo=false>>=
print(outfile, include.rownames=F, floating = FALSE)
@
}
\end{sidewaystable}
Alternatively, since the size of the table is determined by the size of the
text in the table, you can just tell LaTeX to use a smaller font, e.g.
<<results=tex,echo=false>>=
print(outfile, include.rownames=F, floating.environment='sidewaystable', size
= "scriptsize")

Dear R users,
I am new to Latex and I am using the R package xtable to generate tables.
I want to produce a table that is very long. in the landscape format, but
I would need to rescale the table so that it fits in the page. xtable
enables me to have the landscape format, but I cannot rescale it, and there
seems to be a problem, if I use scalebox in Latex on my output produced
with stable and the option sidewaystable. Do you know any way to achieve
this result with xtable or another R package?
Let's look at the following example:
In R, I use the following code
##############
outfile<- matrix(nrow=3, ncol=3)
outfile[2,1]<- 6.912
outfile[3,1]<- 400
outfile[2,2]<- 8.9722
outfile[2,2]<- 500
outfile[2,3]<- 4.00
outfile[3,3]<- 400
library(xtable)
outfile<- data.frame(outfile)
colnames(outfile)<- c(" ","V1", "V2")
outfile<- xtable(outfile, caption= "Title", include.rownames=F,
align=rep("c", 4), digit=2)
print(outfile, include.rownames=F, floating.environment='sidewaystable')

I was wondering if it is possible to rescale in Latex when the code was
generated through xtable. Indeed, when I run the latex table obtained from
xtable, and use scale box, it does not work (and the problem comes from
scalebox, which works otherwise).
\documentclass[11pt]{report}
\usepackage{rotating}
%\usepackage[counterclockwise]{rotating}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{float}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\scalebox{0.70} { %resize
% latex table generated in R 2.13.1 by xtable 1.6-0 package
% Tue Jan 31 23:26:10 2012
\begin{sidewaystable}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
\hline
& V1 & V2 \\
\hline
& & \\
6.91 & 500.00 & 4.00 \\
400.00 & & 400.00 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{Title}
\end{center}
\end{sidewaystable}
}
\end{document}
Thanks a lot for any advice.

Hi Aurelien,
You just need to put the \caption outside the scalebox command, like this:
\documentclass[11pt]{report}
\usepackage{rotating}
%\usepackage[counterclockwise]{rotating}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{float}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\begin{sidewaystable}[ht]
\centering
\scalebox{0.7}{
% latex table generated in R 2.13.1 by xtable 1.6-0 package
% Wed Feb 1 10:29:25 2012
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
\hline
& V1 & V2 \\
\hline
& & \\
6.91 & 500.00 & 4.00 \\
400.00 & & 400.00 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
}
\caption{Title}
\end{sidewaystable}
\end{document}

Your suggestion works.
When I make the option floating=F, the caption no longer appears in the Tex
code generated by xtable. If I had \caption {Title} in the code, it does not
seem to work.

So, I am faced with a dilemma. If I use the code from my previous email, I
could have the landscape and the title work, but if I incorporate scalebox in
Latex it does not work. If I use the floating=F solution, I can rescale and
landscape, but I have troubles having a caption. That's weird.

Hi Tal,
Untested, but it should just be a matter of giving tabularx style formatting
in the align option to xtable(), and then using "tabularx" as the
tabular.environment argument to print.xtable()
see ?xtable and ?print.xtable for details.
Best,
Ista

Dear Ista,
Do you happen to know of a way to use the {tabularx} LaTeX pacakge, so to have
it work with xtables?
I would rather have my columns adjust themselves then to rotate my table.
Thank you in advance,
