It seems that this does not work for the case of using png as the output device?

yihui 2022-12-16 20:23:45

No. This only applies to the tikz() device in the tikzDevice package. The png file in my post was converted from the pdf output.

Is it possible to output a Table in graphics type? Then we may format graph and table at same time by layout function

yihui 2022-12-16 20:23:46

It does not seem to be directly possible. We cannot insert a tabular or table environment in the graphics. I remember there is an R package which can "plot" the table (as texts and grid lines) but I have forgotten its name.

Well, technically you can insert whatever LaTeX code you want into the tikz output stream using the tikzAnnotate function. Just make sure that it can handle being inside a tikzpicture environment.

However, the generation of tables is a little bit outside of the realm of graphics. xtable is better suited to such things.

Thanks for the clarification, Charlie.

gplots::texplot(), plotrix::addtable2plot(), and gridExtra::grid.table(), maybe?

yihui 2022-12-16 20:23:49

Thanks, baptiste. I think I meant plotrix.

Package has been removed from CRAN and is now obsolete.

I'll probably try to bring it back if the original authors are no longer interested or able to maintain it.

It's really wonderful that you shared this kind of information especially that there are many people who is using this kind of program. Thus, it's wonderful that you have shared this information to make R Graphics more friendly to its user.

Yihue to the rescue yet again. Many thanks. The tikzDevice is currently in CRAN and producing just what was advertised.
