I am working with Sweave and would like to print out into my latex document the result of the R command version$platform So what I first tried in my .Rnw document was \Sexpr{print(version$platform)}. However, the output from this command is the string "x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0" (without the quotes). This contains an underscore, which is a special character in tex and so I get an error

Dear R devel, being constrained to a windows environment at work and having colleagues being accustomed to the Microsoft Office Suite, I was looking for a way to have the RweaveLatex driver for Sweave automatically generating 'win.metafile's in addition to the pdf graphics. Without this functionalilty, the generation of emf-graphics is quite laborious, I think: <<>>= plotit

Hi In Sweave, how does one change the size of the plots? I tried using a hook: <<echo=FALSE, print=FALSE, fig=TRUE>>= options(SweaveHooks=list(fig=function() ps.options(width=1))) library(graphics) pairs(iris) @ but this didn't change the size of the figure. How to make the figures a different size? -- Robin Hankin Uncertainty Analyst National Oceanography Centre,

I would like to be able to do something like this: <<echo=F,fig=T,width=mywidth>>= ... @ with mywidth set in a previous code chunk. Is there a way to do this in Sweave? (Sorry for two questions in a row, I have been saving these up.) -- Michael

Sweave is very useful, and I'm gradually getting used to it. I've just been battling Sweave over the re-use of code chunks. As I am pretty ignorant in the byways of both Sweave and R, this took a chunk of time to sort out. Here is what I learned: If one re-uses a code chunk, then Sweave (but not Stangle) will insist that <> start in column 1. In particular, white space to its left

I'm using Sweave to generate LaTeX output from R. Thank-you very much for this capability. It is very useful. Could someone please tell me how to pass non-default graphics parameters from par() to the pdf driver when it is called by Sweave? (I need to change some of the margin defaults. ) Hoping there is an easy solution to this question, Anne York

Hi! I am troubled by Sweave which I want to use in order to plot graphics which I build up successively by the use of grid.layout. Here is the code: <<fig=TRUE,label=evolDist,height=6in,width=3in,pdf=FALSE>>= ## combined plot via grid viewports grid.newpage() pushViewport(viewport(layout=grid.layout(2,1))) vlay <- function(x,y) viewport(layout.pos.row=x, layout.pos.col=y)

Hi, I'm aware of the definition of a "valid filename" in .SweaveValidFilenameRegexp, but I think it might be better to quote the filename when it contains spaces instead of just giving a warning. This should bring us safer LaTeX code (although I never use spaces in paths). Here is the simple patch: Index: src/library/utils/R/SweaveDrivers.R

Hi all, Using Beamer, in order to highlight a piece of R code I do something like this - note the "\structure" and "\alert" commands: \begin{semiverbatim} > mleOut <- \structure{dlmMLE}(Nile, + parm = c(0.2, 120), # initial values for optimizer + lower = c(1e-7, 0)) \alert<2>{# V must be positive} > mleOut$convergence

Please excuse me for asking such basic questions: Here is my code > y=c(1.21,0.51,0.14,1.62,-0.8,0.72,-1.71,0.84,0.02,-0.12) > ybar=mean(y) > ll=length(y); > ybarv=rep(ybar,ll) > x=1:ll > plot(x,ybarv,pch=1) > segments(x[1],ybar,x[ll],ybar) What I get is a collection of small circles, with a segment "on top" of the circles, which is almost what I want. But I

Depending on an R computation I would like to include an Sweave documents in the main Sweave document. How can I do it? So I was thinking .... to use Latex features : \newif\ifpaper \ifpaper \SweaveInput{"my1.Rnw"} \else \SweaveInput{"my2.Rnw"} \fi But how do I set paper to true or false given an \Sexpr ?? \papertrue % or \paperfalse Any ideas? cheers -- Witold

Dear Sweave users, Could you help me to find a way to place Sweave output files in a subdirectory of the currentfolder without giving them a subname? If the option "prefix.string=foo/" is used, all files are placed in this folder, but begin with an hyphen-minus, which makes it difficult to work with them. If the option "prefix=FALSE" is used, then files won't be placed in

Hi, Could R-Core consider adding 'RtangleRuncode' and 'RtangleFinish' to the exports of utils. Their weave equivalent 'makeRweaveLatexCodeRunner' and ?'RweaveLatexFinish' are exported, as well as the other tangle utility functions 'RtangleSetup' and 'RtangleWritedoc'. The rationale is not just symmetry. ;-) I'm finishing a small package that

I often use Lyx/Sweave and I typically write in english. Today I had to write a document in Italian and, as many of you know, many italian popular words use ?, ?, ?. ?, etc. I discovered that if I type in Italian (that is there is at least one letter with accent) with the Sweave module selected lye is not able to correctly compile the document. I tried to change the input encoding, but it

Hi list, I was running Sweave on one of my .rnw file.? Everything was fine, until I came back from the vacation.? Nothing changed (at least to my knowledge), but now I have this problem: >???? Sweave("myfile.rnw") Error: ?COLO001final.rnw? is not ASCII and does not declare an encoding After snooping around on the web, I found this solution: > Sweave("myfile.rnw",

Hi, I'm working with Sweave and I have some trouble generating table. The R code is: print(xtable(myTable, caption ="", label="tab:myTab", digits=3), tabular.environment='tabular', floating=TRUE, caption.placement="top",size="\\scriptsize") and the resulting LaTeX table is: \begin{table}[ht] \begin{center} \caption{Principal

I am completely new to LaTeX and Sweave, so I am trying to follow the tutorial in the following link: http://www.r-bloggers.com/using-latex-r-and-sweave-to-create-reports-in- windows/ I installed MiKTeX 2.9 and TeXnicCenter, but I get a build error when compiler the example file: The two errors are: "Error: running 'texi2dvi' on 'test.tex' failed" and "R> !

Dear R users. I'm currently making a report with knitr (RStudio) where I would like to plot a googleVis map. However, the map generated is an HTML file which I don't know how to integrate it in my report. So my question is how to include a map generated with googleVis in a PDF created with knitr/sweave.
