Error messaging with landscape .tex

[curtisKJ]

Problem:

• I can have a Latex table be knitted appropriately. However, when trying to write out the .tex table to disk I get compiling errors from texPreview.

• The latex is written out just fine.

Code:

chrt1comb %>% 
  rename(`$t_{lag}$ (h)` = tlag,
         `$C_{max}$ (ug/L)` = cmax,
         `$AUC_{last}$ (h*ug/L)` = auclast,
         `$AUC_{0-inf}$ (h*mg/L)` = aucinf.obs,
         `$\\lambda_{z}$` = lambda.z,
         `$t_{1/2}$ (h)` = half.life,
         `$CL/F$ (L/h)` = CL,
         `$Vz/F$ (L)` = Vz,
         `$AUC_{0-inf}$ Ext. ($\\%$)` = aucpext.obs) %>%
  kableExtra::kable(caption = 
                      'Dose 1.0: Summary',
                    label = 'tab5',format='latex',escape=F) %>%
  kableExtra::kable_styling(latex_options = c("scale_down")) %>%
  column_spec(1, bold = T) %>%
  pack_rows(group_label = "Summaries", 
            start_row = 3, 
            end_row = 11, 
            latex_gap_space = "2em") %>%
  kable_footnote(stem = 'CHRT1SUM') %>%
    landscape() %>%
  texPreview::tex_preview(stem = 'CHRT1SUM',
                          usrPackages = build_usepackage(pkg = 'lscape'))

this reproduces the error

system.file('examples/toy/toy.tex',package = 'texPreview')%>%
  texPreview::as.kable()%>%
  kableExtra::landscape()%>%
  texPreview::tex_preview(
    usrPackages = texPreview::build_usepackage('lscape')
  )

 Error in tex_preview.default(obj, tex_lines, stem, overwrite, keep_pdf,  : 
   
! Dimension too large.
\sa@placebox ...global \pdfpagewidth =\wd \sa@box 
 \global \pdfpageheight =\h...
l.18 \end{document}
 
!  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

this solves the issue

system.file('examples/toy/toy.tex',package = 'texPreview')%>%
  texPreview::as.kable()%>%
  kableExtra::landscape()%>%
  texPreview::tex_preview(
    usrPackages = texPreview::build_usepackage(c('lscape','geometry'))
  )

I will add geometry to the tex template of the package to keep this from happening again.

Hmmm, this didn't resolve the issue for me.

[yonicd]

what is the dimension of the dataframe?

[curtisKJ]

Whoops, forgot to vectorize.....it works. Sorry.

[yonicd]

np. so i can close?

[curtisKJ]

Yes, sir. Thanks again.
