Hi Joe
FYI - you can do this with the Insightful S-PLUS Clinical Reporting Solution
http://www.insightful.com/industry/pharm/development.asp
This solution has actually been picked up by folks in industries other than
Life Sciences. It includes an S-PLUS library for writing out tables and
graphs into RTF->PDF. The SPXML library in S-PLUS 7 also includes tools for
writing out rtf tables via XML transforms e.g. heres some self-contained
code:
myObject <- sample[1:50]
# Specify where to write our XML (file system name/location)
myXMLFile <- "Example.xml"
# Write as XML
createXMLFile(myObject, myXMLFile)
# Set HTML filename (file system name/location)
myHTMLFile <- paste(getenv("S_PROJ"), "\\example.html", sep="")
# Convert XML to HTML
xml2html(myXMLFile, myHTMLFile)
# Can easily go to other formats via wrapper functions
# or underlying javaXMLTransform function
xml2pdf(myXMLFile, "H:\myFile.pdf")
javaXMLTransform(myXMLFile, "H:\myFile.rtf")
javaXMLTransform(myXMLFile, "H:\myFile.ps")
The S-PLUS RTF library included in the S-PLUS Clinical Reporting Solution
provides fine control of table styles, fonts etc. The SPXML library in S-PLUS
7 allows simple production of generic tables. Both approaches have their
strong suits. There are other approaches to RTF/PDF reporting with S-PLUS
available through Insightful Prof Services.
goodluck!
Michael

Subject: [S] tables in pdfs
I created a pdf that contains several graphs from
SPLUS using pdf.Graph. Is there a way add a matrix
(as a table) in the same pdf.
Thanks,
Joe
