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
