Hi list,

Excuse me b/c this is probably a more "TeX" then "R" question.

I've been using "latex" function in my .Rnw file to generate tables, but I've always been using it without assigning the result to a object, i.e.

x <- matrix(1:6, nrow=2, dimnames=list(c('a','b'),c('c','d','this that')))
latex(x)

so, I always get the error window (attached) poped out. But since I can just click OK and everything seems fine except in my working directory I get a bunch of "junk" files (.log, .dvi, etc...), I've been ignoring it.

Your attachment did not come through, most likely because it is not a type that is supported by the list.


Now I know by doing e.g. tmp <- latex(x) will suppress this error message, but I'm still curious on how to get rid of the error window when I just use latex(x). I read the "Example" section of "latex" help file and I tried to include the following into my PATH:

"C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\latex"

Well I can't directly help you with your issue, since I don't know what error you're receiving, the reason this is happening is that when you don't assign the result of your latex call, the function 'print.latex' is getting called, which if I understand tries to compile the LaTeX output and display the result in a suitable viewer. By assigning the results of the latex call in R, you stop this printing from happening.

As for what your issue is, I don't know since your attachment did not come through.
