使用R xtable在乳胶表中的行之间添加水平线

Question

I have a sample latex table generation code like this

df<-data.frame(name=rep(letters[1:7],each=24),salary=runif(24*7,100,200))
lst<-tapply(df$salary,df$name,matrix,nrow=4,byrow=T)
xlst<-lapply(lst,xtable)

Now I want to introduce \\hdashline automatically after every row in every table and also a \\vspace{2em} in between the tables from R code Wat I have tried is this

for(i in seq_along(lst)){
  addtorow[i] <- list(pos = list(seq_len(nrow(lst[[i]])-1)),
                      command = "\\hdashline \n")
}

wat changes do i need to make in for loop..It works when I apply for a single table but not working in a for loop...Any help is much appreciated...

Answer 1

Rather than using a loop, consider using the existing print.xtable functionality combined with paste.

1. hdashlines: Consider using the print.xtable parameters. For example, there is a parameter hline.after that controls horizontal lines between the table lines.

2. vspace: This is possibly simpler using paste .

For example:

library(xtable)
df <- data.frame(name=rep(letters[1:3],each=24),salary=runif(24*3,100,200))
lst <- tapply(df$salary,df$name,matrix,nrow=4,byrow=T)
xlst <- lapply(lst,function(x)print(xtable(x), hline.after=1:nrow(x)))
xlst <- lapply(xlst, paste, "\\vspace{2em}")
xlst

See ?print.xtable for more details. If hline.after is not flexible enough for your purposes, then have a look at add.to.row where you can specify both the position and exact element type to add.

Answer 2

如果您使用的是print.xtable ，请在print.xtable中尝试以下print.xtable ：

hline.after = rep(c(1:nrow(df)),2)# repeating horizontal lines in xtable
