similar to: nice report generator?

Happy New Year all! I am looking for a good solution for keeping record of my experiments - could you please help me? My work is about analysing data... My current work-flow: 1. Everyday my bosses give me some small steps/tasks for analysing data - which are parts of one bigger/whole project. 2. Everyday I send tens of emails to bosses/colleagues to report my findings in each step. 3.

Hello folks, I've been on a journey trying to figure out how to manage documents that are amenable to sharing and editing, but that contain dynamic content generated by R. I've come to the following solution: I use Sweave to generate labeled png & pdf figures, and I "Insert & Link" those figures as "Pictures" in a Word 2010 doc. Thus, when data or code

Hi Everybody I use R2.8.0 on Mac OS X. I set up LyX 1.6.1 to use Sweave today. I can compile the test file I found on CRAN ( http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/lyx/) without a problem and the output looks very nice. In the test file the following R code is used. <<myFirstChunkInLyX>>= xObs <- 100; xMean <- 10; xVar <- 9 x <- rnorm(n=xObs, mean=xMean, sd=sqrt(xVar))

Hi all, So my question is pretty simple, but unfortunately I have not been able to find a good answer after extensive google searches. I am trying to plot an "attractive" data table in R, such as: http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRjfTbTEUWlnb73wtUkY1mbQblWA-2EKEgvTLXGzkqUSpH4mWrk Such data tables are easily done in Excel, but I am trying to automate the entire process in R.

Hi Everybody I need to "transport" some data and results to use another application (Sweave via LyX - where debugging is very difficult) in order to build a report. Is it possible to store a collection of variables of different types (like named integers, matricies, data frames and two lists) all in one list and save it and then simply load it again later and "unpack" the

Hello All, Have recently started learning Sweave and Knitr. Am now trying to learn odfWeave as well. Things went pretty smoothly with Sweave and Knitr but I'm having some trouble with odfWeave. My understanding was that odfWeave should work in pretty much the same way as Sweave. With odfWeave, you set up an input .odt file in a folder, run that file through the odfWeave function, and then

Dear list, Inspired by the original Knuth tools, and for paedaogical reasons, I wish to produce a document presenting some source code with interspersed comments in the source (see Knuth's books rendering TeX and metafont sources to see what I mean). I seemed to remember that a code chunk could be defined piecewise, like in Comments... <<Chunk1, eval=FALSE, echo=TRUE>>=

Dear R and Sweave users, Is there a way to have optional sections in a Sweave-generated report document, complete with section header(s), text and code chunks? In other words, I'd like for my report to include or omit certain sections based on the data itself. For example, If I examine the input dataset early on in the report and set a variable has_daily_data = TRUE, then I'd like to

Hello I tried the odfWeave package today, by running the formatting.odt and example.odt files that are included with the package. They both ran fine, but when I try to open them in my OpenOffice (OpenOffice 3.1.1 on Kubuntu 9.10) I get an error "Format error discovered in the file in sub-document content.xml at 1293,124(row,col)." I also tried to open them in MS Word 2003 (Windows

Dear Duncan and other R users, The department in which I work will soon make some decisions to improve our reporting. Since I hope that our solution will support R and Sweave-like functionality (otherwise it wouldn't be an improvement....), I hope it's ok to repeat my question back from June if there are any news on an odfWeave-like package for weaving Microsoft Word documents? (in the

Hi Apologies in advance if I've missed something obvious. I have read the Sweave manual, the first article in R News, looked at the Help pages, googled Sweave and words like loop, output, files, multiple, done much the same on R site search (in case I missed something on Google) and I couldn't find exactly what I'm after. What I'm trying to do ?---------------------- Make

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

Dear R community, I wish to print tables into a pdf file. How can this be done, adding headers and several tables to the same file? Thanking you for your attention, Georg. ***************************** Georg Ehret Johns Hopkins Baltimore - US [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I tried odfWeave to create an OpenOffice file and found that it exhausted the memory of my large linux machine and took a long time to run. LaTeX with Sweave is blazing fast and extremely flexible. Most of the time I can give clients a pdf file. Sometimes I'd like to make Sweave LaTeX files more accessible (and editable) to (gulp) Word users, mainly so they can extract tables and other

Dear All, Using odfWeave is working fine for me using code chunks <<...>>= ... @ But the inline \Sexpr{date()} is not evaluated and returns again \Sexpr{date()} instead of "Thu Apr 17 18:15:47 2008". What might be the reason for that, what do I have to look for? I'm using Windows XP, R 2.6.1, odfWeave_0.7.3 and OpenOffice 2.4. Session Info: R version 2.6.1

Hello dear R help members, I have found several references on how to do this, my question is if anyone is actually using them - and if there are some strong points on what to use, and how well it is working out. My goal is to be able to easily create docs from R, but to be able to share it with other researchers (who do not use LaTeX) so they could easily copy/paste the tables and edit them for

Hi, I'm a new R user. I noticed that RKWard has a really nice output when it does crosstabs. It even includes the chi-squared values. However, I obviously can't simply copy this into my standalone R script. Does anyone know the code or a way for me to view the code. Secondly, if I am writing an R script I want to be able to view the output as a pdf even if my function is not a graph,

I have been looking a bit at docbook as an alternative to latex. However, Sweave is a very nice way to deal with documents mixing R code, figures, and text as well as markup. I saw a couple of references in the email archives that people have been experimenting with combinations of tools (including Sxslt). Is anyone willing to share their thoughts and practices in basically replacing the

Before I go and do this another way - can I check if anyone has a way of looping through data in odfWeave (or possibly sweave) to do a repeating analysis on subsets of data? For simplicity lets use mtcars dataset in R to explain. Dataset looks like this: > mtcars mpg cyl disp hp drat wt ... Mazda RX4 21.0 6 160 110 3.90 2.62 ... Mazda RX4 Wag 21.0 6 160 110 3.90
