assume I have a simply xtable, made as follows:
library(xtable)
x <- as.data.frame(matrix(1:9,3,3))
x <- xtable(x)
How can I print this table with only the columns (i.e. '&'s), but not anything around? I do not want hlines explicitly.
Using:
print(x,
only.contents=T)
returns \hline before and after the table. I'd be also happy with a workaround, even though I hope it is possible somehow within xtable to set this up as intended. Thanks for any hints.
You can set hline.after to NULL; see below:
library(xtable)
x <- as.data.frame(matrix(1:9,3,3))
print(xtable(x),
only.contents=T)
#> % latex table generated in R 3.6.0 by xtable 1.8-4 package
#> % Wed Sep 18 11:54:58 2019
#> & V1 & V2 & V3 \\
#> \hline
#> 1 & 1 & 4 & 7 \\
#> 2 & 2 & 5 & 8 \\
#> 3 & 3 & 6 & 9 \\
#> \hline
print(xtable(x),
hline.after = NULL,
only.contents=T)
#> % latex table generated in R 3.6.0 by xtable 1.8-4 package
#> % Wed Sep 18 11:54:58 2019
#> & V1 & V2 & V3 \\
#> 1 & 1 & 4 & 7 \\
#> 2 & 2 & 5 & 8 \\
#> 3 & 3 & 6 & 9 \\
#>
