How can I get output code for Latex from my R code?

Question

library(summarytools)
library(stargazer)
view(dfSummary(DataV2,graph.col = TRUE), method = "render")

Answer 1

I don't think summarytools has a way to produce LaTeX directly, but it can produce Markdown output, and the rmarkdown package can convert that to LaTeX. For example:

---
title: "Untitled"
date: "17/02/2022"
output: 
  pdf_document:
    keep_tex: true
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```

```{r results='asis'}
library(summarytools)
library(stargazer)
dfSummary(tobacco, 
          plain.ascii  = FALSE,
          style        = 'grid',
          graph.magnif = 0.85,
          varnumbers = FALSE,
          valid.col    = FALSE,
          tmp.img.dir  = "/tmp")  
```

Because I used the keep_tex: true option in the YAML, it outputs the .tex file as well as the PDF, and you could theoretically extract the LaTeX from there if you weren't using R Markdown for the rest of the document. It might not be easy, because of all the embedded figures.
