Small font size in beamer tables

Small font size in beamer tables

[Vikas Rawal]

I am using beamer class in orgmode to make a presentation. I need to
use small font size for some of my tables. 

LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS changes font size in the text but not in the tables.

Something like this does not work.

#+ATTR_LaTeX: size=small align=p{2cm}|r|r|p{1cm}|p{1cm}|r|p{1cm}|p{1cm}|

What would be the easiest way to specify that a table uses smaller
font size.

Oh. Thanks very much for a prompt response. In fact, I was just
reading that extremely useful thread on this list where you proposed
this solution and provided the patch for the documentation.

The solution is not working for me somehow. Which is to say that, with
my limited knowledge of latex, I have not been able to understand
this. So may I please you to elaborate a bit.

I have this line:
#+ATTR_LaTeX: placement=\footnotesize align=p{2cm}|r|r|p{1cm}|p{1cm}|r|p{1cm}|p{1cm}|

This does not produce any change.

I have also tried just:
 
#+ATTR_LaTeX: placement=\footnotesize

What am I supposed to do with [<options>]. Do i have to have some?

If it is relevant, my table is produced by a src block which processes
an R script.

So the entire frame looks like:

*** frame title
#+CAPTION: the table title here
#+ATTR_LaTeX: placement=\footnotesize align=p{2cm}|r|r|p{1cm}|p{1cm}|r|p{1cm}|p{1cm}|
#+BEGIN_SRC R :results value :colnames yes :hline yes

[R script here]

#+END_SRC

I shall be grateful if you could help me tweak this.

I hadn't tried my solution for beamer export. In beamer tables don't
use the table environment, hence my previous solution doesn't work.

That said, I did find an ugly hack. Try this:

#+LATEX: {\tiny
#+ATTR_LaTeX: align=rr
| M (GeV) | K-factor |
|---------+----------|
|      50 |    1.075 |
|     150 |     1.01 |
|     250 |   0.9932 |
|     350 |   0.9778 |
|     450 |   0.9621 |
#+LATEX: }

Hopefully this was helpful.

You are my hero of the day!!!

Thank you very much.

Using beamer the following just works fine too, if the table
is the only element inside a frame:

#+LATEX: \tiny
#+ATTR_LaTeX: align=rr
| M (GeV) | K-factor |
|---------+----------|
|      50 |    1.075 |
|     150 |     1.01 |
|     250 |   0.9932 |
|     350 |   0.9778 |
|     450 |   0.9621 |
