Here is the full repair for the latex functions in Hmisc to make pdflatex work in Windows. This version is still slightly awkward. I hope that Charles and Frank will smooth it out and put it in their next release.
I added two new options() and revised show.dvi so it will use them. Rich library(Hmisc) show.dvi <- function (object, width = 5.5, height = 7) { viewer <- optionsCmds("xdvi") cmd <- if (viewer == "yap") { paste(viewer, object$file) } else if (viewer == "kdvi") { paste(viewer, object$file) } else if (viewer == "xdvi") { paste(viewer, " -paper ", width, "x", height, "in -s 0 ", object$file, sep = "") } else if (basename(viewer) == "AcroRd32") { object$file <- sub("dvi", "pdf", object$file) paste(viewer, object$file) } else { paste(viewer, object$file) } system(cmd, intern = TRUE, wait = TRUE) invisible(NULL) } environment(show.dvi) <- environment(print.dvi) options(latexcmd="pdflatex", xdvicmd="c:/Progra~1/Adobe/Reader~1.0/Reader/AcroRd32") x <- matrix(1:24, 6,4, dimnames=list(letters[1:6], LETTERS[1:4])) show.dvi(dvi(x.tex <- latex(x))) paste(getwd(), x.tex$file, sep="/") ## location of the table itself ## The tex file with headers and the pdf file are in the directory ## given in the printed output from dvi().
