[R] Graphical table in R

[Dan Bolser]

I would like R to produce some tabulated data in a graphical output. When
I say tabulated data, what I mean is a table with rows and columns. This
would be useful when reading in a big file, performing some analysis on
it, and then wanting to display the results as a table.

Something like 

plot(x,...)

where x is a matrix

For example, the result could look (approximatly) like...

+-------+-----------+
|     A |         B |
+-------+-----------+
|     1 |     33278 |
|     2 |      6790 |
...
|    10 |         1 |
|    12 |         6 |
+-------+-----------+


I havent (and cant) see any way to do this. Is there currently any way to
do this? I imagine it could be put together with various other plotting
'fundamentals', but the syntax of the layout format could be a pain to get
right. 

OK, I just found xtable (Export tables to LaTeX or HTML). Any plans to
make a print.xtable(x,type="X",...) or print.xtable(x,type="png",...) function?

Any easy way to convert a latex table to an image without actually doing

latex latex.table.file.tex

dvi2png latex.table.file.dvi

?

Cheers,
Dan.
