I pass a data.frame to xtable
dat.table <- xtable(dat[1:20,] ,digits=10)
Instead of displaying digits like that, I would prefer to use scientific notation. How would I do that?
had a look but all I found was R: formatting the digits in xtable which isn't the answer it seems.
Try:
dat.table <- xtable(dat[1:20,] ,digits=-10)
"If values of digits are negative, the corresponding values of x are displayed in scientific format with abs(digits) digits." xtable
If you are wanting to x10^ notation trying use print and xtable. something like:
print(xtable(dat[1:10,1:7], display=c("s","s", "s","s","g","g","g","g")), math.style.exponents = TRUE)
where s is string and g is used for scientific notation (only when space is saved), themath.style.exponents from print will convert to x10^format.
