Question: Is there a way to print, from within R, a LaTeX table directly to an image file (for inclusion in another document/webpage). Basically, I'd like to supply LaTeX code to a function that saves it as an image to the working directory. 

Pipe dreams?

Answer: 
With Spaceman's answer, I was able to come up with a solution that does not rely on `latex` from the `Hmisc` package as `latex` was causing some path problems for me: 

```
table.png <- function(obj, name) { 
first <- name
name <- paste(name,".tex",sep="")
sink(file=name)
cat('
\\documentclass{report}
\\usepackage[paperwidth=5.5in,paperheight=7in,noheadfoot,margin=0in]{geometry}
\\begin{document}\\pagestyle{empty}
')
print(xtable(obj))
cat('
\\end{document}
')
sink()
texi2dvi(file=name)
cmd <- paste("dvipng -T tight", shQuote(paste(first,".dvi",sep="")))
invisible(sys(cmd))
cleaner <- c(".tex",".aux",".log",".dvi")
invisible(file.remove(paste(first,cleaner,sep="")))
}

```
I don't have a good answer that includes using R, but if you were desperate, I suppose a 'print screen' and a copy to Paint or other such program and finally saving it would at least get you the image in a storable format.

I've created 'step by step' user documentation this way when other options weren't available.
