Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ print.xtable going off page

[ramiro2k]

Hello,

I am generating a series of tables as part of a "for loop". However, sometimes one of the tables goes into the "footer space" (see attached .png image). This is part of my code:

<<historiesOmitsAndOutliers,echo=FALSE,results='asis'>>=
for (i in 1:length(histories)) {
cat("\\FloatBarrier")
thisTable <- histories[]
print(xtable(thisTable,digits=c(rep(0,4),2,2,0,-2,0),caption=paste0("tableCaption"),
label=paste0("tab:history",i)),
caption.placement="top",include.rownames=FALSE,size="scriptsize",table.placement="!ht",
tabular.environment="longtable",floating=FALSE,
sanitize.text.function=function(x) {gsub("_","\\_",x,fixed=TRUE)})
cat("\\FloatBarrier")
}
@

Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Ramiro

This error is very much common in Windows 7 and I have faced this issue for a few times and this error is mainly categorized under the Windows update error code 8007000e and it can easily be solved by just updating the Windows properly and reinstalling the printer.

Hello Ramiro,

welcome to the forum!

This is not standard LaTeX. Could you perhaps post code that we can run and test? Thanks!

Btw. it seems that the attached image is missing.

I am attaching the image again here below, hope it works. I am not using windows but rather linux, and using the R programming language. Let me see if I can make a short reproducible example, in the meantime, let me know if you have any other suggestions about how NOT to have a latex table not go off the page...

Hi Ramiro,

as R generates LaTeX code, you could post this LaTeX code here, perhaps we get a reproducible example that way.

Thank you Stefan, I worked on this and tried to shrink it as much as possible, but it's still a bit long, I am pasting the latex below. Thank you very much for any suggestions.
