Question

I am using this:

latex(data, cgroup=c("sample1", "sample2"), n.cgroup=c(2,2), file="")

to generate a tex table.

the output looks like this:

\begin{table}[!tbp]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lrlrl}
\hline\hline
\multicolumn{1}{l}{sample1}&\multicolumn{1}{c}{sample2}&\multicolumn{1}{c}{abs reads}&\multicolumn{1}{c}{rel reads}&\multicolumn{1}{c}{abs reads.1}&\multicolumn{1}{l}{rel reads.1}\tabularnewline
\hline
...
%the content%
...
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}

Question: how can change this:

\begin{tabular}{lrlrl}

to something like this:

\begin{tabular}{lrrrr}

using the latex function ?

Answer 1

The col.just argument probably does what you want (it is difficult to guess what your data looks like).

library(Hmisc)
latex(head(iris,3), file="", col.just=c("r","r","r","r","r"))
