Dear Robert,
You can easily include R-generated pictures in Latex.
One easy way is to use the postscript() command and including
the picures in Latex using \usepackage{graphics} .
It?s as easy as \includegraphics{mygraphicsfile.ps} and you can even do
size customizing in Latex using some commands in this package. (Good
documentation included.)
Hope this helps,
detlef

For me I just save from R a postscript file, then in Lyx click "Insert Figure" and stick it in. So It's pretty automatic for me and have never had problems over 4 years of use.

In general it is not difficult inserti .eps graphics in LaTeX
For instance:
1)Do any graphic with postscript() or export it by File|Save as| postscript:
2) in your document put for instance
\usepackage{graphicx}
....
\includegraphics*[width=\textwidth]{graph.eps}

since you are a windows-user: did you consider producing pdf? you don't only
get files
you can print as good as postscript but also the advantage of an easy-to-share
file-
format.
for me (using TeXnicCenter as Latex-shell for windows) this solution was the
easiest
one! at the end of ths message you'll find a latex-file which shows how to
include an
pdf-image (in R produced with file->save as->pdf)
also, i highly recommend having a look to TEXNICCENTER! nicer than any other
latex-shell for windows and also free.

Many thanks for all suggestions, and of course, using dev.copy2eps work. At least almost. Simple graphs are generated and copied into *.eps files, they have been included in the LaTeX document, and in the end I get a nice looking document in the DVI previewer (in my case YAP). Printing doesn't work though. I get a message saying that "..this page contains Postscript specials". Is this due to a faulty *.eps file or should I look for the root causes in the previewer? Any suggestions? --robert **************** Robert Lundqvist Dept of Quality Technology & Statistics Lulea University of Technology Sweden -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

You have to save your plots/figures in EPS format. EPS is basically the
same as PS (postscript), but it is a one-page document with a
"BoundingBox".
Example
In [R]:
Alternative 1: Generate the plot *first* and then the eps file
...
plot(sin(1:10), pch="+")
dev.print(device=postscript, "myFigure.eps",
onefile=FALSE, horizontal=FALSE)
...
Alternative 2: Generate the eps file directly *without* opening a window.
...
postscript(file="myFigure.eps", onefile=FALSE, horizontal=FALSE)
plot(sin(1:10), pch="+")
dev.off()
...
Note that the arguments 'onefile=FALSE, horizontal=FALSE' are important!
In the help for 'postscript' it also says that you "probably want
to set
... paper = "special", but I never used this option and it has worked
fine
for me without it (actually I don't know what it does).
In LaTeX:
...
Bla bla see Figure~\ref{figMyFigure}.
\begin{figure}[hbtp]
\begin{center}
% Scale the figure to have the height 80mm keeping
% the width/height ratio.
\resizebox{!}{80mm}{\includegraphics{myFigure.eps}}
\end{center}
\caption{The data used...}
\label{figMyFigure} % <-- NOTE: After \caption!
\end{figure}
...
This requires that you use "\usepackage{graphics}" or
"\usepackage{graphicx}" at the top your LaTeX document.

[R] R graphs in LaTeX documents?
I'll admit to being somewhat of a graphics meathead, but recently needed to
put lots of R graphics into a report that I was typesetting with LaTeX
(well, pdflatex on Linux). I couldn't coerce pdflatex to use the eps
graphics (it seems to be there has to be a way, but I was in too much of a
hurry to try to find it), so I asked R to generate the graphics directly
into PDF, and then included them into my LaTeX with an \includegraphics.
To me, the result looked pretty good -- much better, in fact, than it did
with either jpg or png output, although the poor result with jpg and png
could well be because of my naive choices for the various settings of
things required along the way.
Anyway, I am continually impressed with R's ability to produce good results
in spite of my somewhat inelegant (ok, ham-fisted) approach.
Regards,
Mike

Hi Robert,
Perhaps your difficulties lie on the LaTeX side of the
equation. I've used R versions 1.23, 1.31 and now
1.41; gone thru 'mass production' of numerous
postscript graphics using both the menu and coding;
and pulled those graphics into LaTeX (and
Word)directly without a hitch--EXCEPT IN THE
BEGINNING. And those problems were
first-time-using-LaTeX-related.
Assuming I had saved the R graphic as 'ipu238.eps' the
following (edited) has worked for me:
\documentclass[10pt,letterpaper]{report}
...
\usepackage{graphicx}
...
\begin{document}
...as can be seen in Figure \ref{fig:ipu238}. The
confidence bands are wide and ...
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.9]{ipu238}
\end{center}
\caption{Intervals for plutonium 238 versus europium
154 using all samples.}
\label{fig:ipu238}
\end{figure}
...
\end{document}
FYI, I use TeXnicCenter/MikTeX for the LaTeX. They
work very well together.(Note: LyX on windows is
cygwin based and requires an Xserver, e.g. XFree86.
Might as run Linux to begin with! Hmmm, not a bad
idea, but RWin is getting pretty sweet.)

Mike

The only good way is to convert .eps to pdf (or, much worse, to png).
The best way to do that is Adobe Distiller, the second-best way epsftopdf,
a Perl script / Windows program calling ghostscript, preferably 6.0 or

That's typical for the sort of graphs one produces in R.

I wrote the pdf() driver because it seemed a cleaner solution, and it was
an intellectual challenge. From this thread it seems it has much more use
