Customize horizontal positon of table within page

Question

I am using memoir package and I want to generally left align tables (In contrast to figures that should be centered). I am using the hmisc latex function which generates this float table code, but I didnt find a way to easily change/discard the center environment:

\begin{table}[!h]
\caption{}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}
...content...
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}

I already tried the following:

\let\centering\relax

to generally disable centering. My idea is to selectively enable centering for figures. To achieve this I am trying to use the package floatrow but I without any success. Could somebody draft how to either selectively switch off or switch on centering. (Providing I am using the hmisc latex function to generate the table.)

Edit 1: Additional Question: Is there a way (and how) to disable centering (as mentioned using the \let command) but center a figure afterwards somewhere in the document ?

Answer 1

The only mention I could find of hmisc is an R package. If you are using R it would have been helpful to say so. Strictly this is off topic for this site as it is an R programming question.

The manual for hmisc is here

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Hmisc/Hmisc.pdf

and on page 149 (or just search for center which is what I did) it says

center=c(’center’,’centering’,’none’),

so I assume you want none.
