Plotting a table in R

Question

I want to plot a table of my data frame with lines and color formatting. So far the only solution I have come up with is through packages xtables and data.table but I seem to get the output in Latex code.

How do I output this code in R to see what it looks like?
Is there no simple solution for plotting a table with the base package?

Use plot function. For example data set iris, which is available in R by default. There are 5 columns there.

  Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
1          5.1         3.5          1.4         0.2  setosa
2          4.9         3.0          1.4         0.2  setosa
3          4.7         3.2          1.3         0.2  setosa
4          4.6         3.1          1.5         0.2  setosa
5          5.0         3.6          1.4         0.2  setosa
6          5.4         3.9          1.7         0.4  setosa

You can plot it using

plot(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width, data = iris)

Thanks my question was poorly worded, how do you make this output with an outline and column lines? – Mickson Nov 17 '14 at 09:20
just write in console `print(iris)` or just `iris` – Cron Merdek Nov 17 '14 at 09:30
this doesn't produce any lines on the column and rows – Mickson Nov 17 '14 at 09:53
write `head(iris)` it will show you print just for the beginning of the document. In fact `print` does the same, but for all dataset and your headers are somewhere on top. – Cron Merdek Nov 17 '14 at 10:36
