Dear List
I'm working to modify the font size inside of an plot generated using
Sweave. I found a thread in the archives addressing this issue from F.
Leisch which suggests the solution below. I'm wondering if this is still
the best option for this problem or if another solution may exist.
Here is how I have resolved the issue based on the prior thread.
1) I modified the original Sweave.sty by commenting out
%\ifthenelse{\boolean{Sweave@gin}}{\setkeys{Gin}{width=0.8\textwidth}}{}
%
I then save this as MySweave.sty and make the appropriate change in the
rnw to use this sty instead of Sweave
2) I then set the height and width of each plot inside each code chunk
and also use ps() inside each code chunk as well to modify the text font
size.
For example
<<echo=FALSE, fig=TRUE, eps=FALSE, width=4, height=3>>par(ps=5) #use
this instead of ps.options because I am generating pdfs

I have many graphics inside this document and find myself toying around
with height and width a bit going back and forth between R and Tex to
get things to look right. This isn't too much of an issue, but I'm not
sure it is efficient.
Is this still the best solution?
