I'm sorry for having to post this, but I can't seem to find any solutions to this, which seems pretty simple, but then again... I've started playing with the example r news project and wanted to start adding some graphs, but replacing: \begin{figure} \vspace*{.1in} \framebox[\textwidth]{\hfill \raisebox{-.45in}{\rule{0in}{1in}} A graph goes here \hfill} \caption{\label{figure:onecolfig} A normal figure only occupies one column.} \end{figure} yields a an empty box, which is good, with the following: \begin{figure} \vspace*{.1in} <<fig=true,echo=false>>plot( rnorm( 100 ) ) @ \caption{A normal figure only occupies one column.} \label{figure:onecolfig} \end{figure} which isn't good, or at least yields a "normal sized" graph that starts in the second column, when I run Sweave( "yourarticle.rnw" ) and the pdflatex wrapper Is it possible, to get a "small" graphic this way, or should I write out a temp graph as a pdf and include the graphic by constructing the statement using Sweave? Thanks for any advice, Jeff.

[R] getting "small" graphs with Sweave using Rnews.sty
Dear Jeff, Have you tried to insert the graph at the indended position? That is pasting <<fig=true,echo=false>>plot( rnorm( 100 ) ) @ At the location of A graph goes here So the code would be \begin{figure} \vspace*{.1in} \framebox[\textwidth]{\hfill \raisebox{-.45in}{\rule{0in}{1in}} <<fig=true,echo=false>>plot( rnorm( 100 ) ) @ \hfill} \caption{\label{figure:onecolfig} A normal figure only occupies one column.} \end{figure} HTH, Thierry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ir.

You tell R the size by using <<fig=true, width=w, height=h>>= (with w and h being numbers in units of inches). You tell LaTeX (assuming you're using the graphicx package) by using \setkeys{Gin}{width=w} (or maybe you'd want to set the height, but I usually just set the width and let LaTeX scale the height accordingly). The w here is a LaTeX measure such as \textwidth or 4in or whatever you like. I find the font choices in R look a little bit too large if I tell R the actual size I want, so I generally use both: tell R I want the figure larger than I really want it, and then tell LaTeX to shrink it to fit.
