(Deprecated) Convert matrix to LaTeX equation

Source: R/matrix2latex.R

matrix2latex.Rd

(This function has been deprecated; see latexMatrix instead). This function provides a soft-wrapper to xtable::xtableMatharray() with additional support for fractions output and brackets.

Usage

matrix2latex(
 x,
 fractions = FALSE,
 brackets = TRUE,
 show.size = FALSE,
 digits = NULL,
 print = TRUE,
 ...
)

Arguments

x: a numeric or character matrix. If the latter a numeric-based arguments will be ignored
fractions: logical; if TRUE, try to express non-integers as rational numbers, using the fractions function; if you require greater accuracy, you can set the cycles (default 10) and/or max.denominator (default 2000) arguments to fractions as a global option, e.g., options(fractions=list(cycles=100, max.denominator=10^4)).
brackets: logical or a character in "p", "b", "B", "V". If TRUE, uses square brackets around the matrix, FALSE produces no brackets. Otherwise "p") uses parentheses, ( ); "b") uses square brackets [ ], "B") uses braces { } , "V") uses vertical bars | |.
show.size: logical; if TRUE shows the size of the matrix as an appended subscript.
digits: Number of digits to display. If digits == NULL (the default), the function sets digits = 0 if the elements of x are all integers
print: logical; print the LaTeX code for the matrix on the console?; default: TRUE
...: additional arguments passed to xtable::xtableMatharray()

Details

The code for brackets matches some of the options from the AMS matrix LaTeX package: \pmatrix{}, \bmatrix{}, \Bmatrix{}, ... .
