Tao Shi, Here is the repair for your query. Use this version of show.dvi temporarily (until Hmisc includes it in its official version of show.dvi). This function and option setting will let the command latex(x) display the dvi file in a YAP window on Windows. This version is not to be used

Your example showed up in landscape for me on the pdf file. I needed to rotate the image in the Adobe Reader. I like the appearance better with show.dvi(dvi(x.tex <- latex(report,landscape=TRUE), width=8.5, height=11)) where I changed the paper size in the dvi() command. Rich [[altern

Notice that I didn't quite get my function into the Hmisc environment and that is why you need the awkward phrase show.dvi(dvi(x.tex <- latex(x))) instead of the smooth phrase latex(x) Somehow with my own data and not using the awkward bit, it worked on my Linux machine? At least I

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 librar
