Yeah, I've had this kind of situation before. Usually I first see if I can fit it on the page by rotating it and/or reducing the size. If that doesn't do it then I'll re-arrange as you suggest. Basically the print method is just wrapping the output after n columns (27 in my case, but I think this depends on the options you have set). So you can do this wrapping yourself before calling xtable:
tmp <- with(expand.grid(Fact1 = 1:3, Fact2 = 1:40), table(Fact1, Fact2)) tmp2 <- rbind(tmp[,1:20], tmp[,21:40]) xtable(tmp2) Hope it helps, Ista On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 4:20 AM, Ottorino-Luca Pantani <ottorino-luca.pant...@unifi.it> wrote: > Dear R-users, > consider the two following outputs, ## 1 and ## 2 > > > \begin{Scode}{Setup, echo = FALSE, print = FALSE, eval = TRUE} > with(expand.grid(Fact1 = 1:3, Fact2 = 1:40), table(Fact1, Fact2)) > ## 1 > xtable(with(expand.grid(Fact1 = 1:3, Fact2 = 1:40), table(Fact1, Fact2))) > ## 2 > \end{Scode} > > The first line > with(expand.grid(Fact1 = 1:3, Fact2 = 1:40), table(Fact1, Fact2)) > has an output that easily fit the A4 page, while the second produce > an output that do not fit the A4 page. > > > Is it possible to produce an output with xtable, but similar to the one of > the first line ? > In other words I do not want to use \longtables and the similar. > > Where should I look for info ? > In Latex ?
