I am investigating some approaches to reproducible research. I need in the end to produce .html or .doc or .docx. I have used hwriter in the past but have had some problems with verbatim output from R. Tables are also not particularly convenient. I am interested in R2HTML and R2wd in particular, and possibly odfWeave. Does anyone have sample documents using any of these approaches which

Hi: I am working on a publication and I have heard about LaTEX but I haven't actually tried to learn about it until today. I've found a few examples but I can't actually make them work properly. I have a couple of questions: Does LATEX have to be installed on your computer? How does the xtable package and Sweave work together? How can I make the code below create a table as pdf file?

Dear useRs-- I have been using Sweave with miktex for years, but on a new install on Windows XP, miktex seems to be hung up on single quotes. See example below. Digging through stackexchange, I found using \usepackage[noae]{Sweave} in the tex file solved the problem. My questions are: --Why would this happen? I have the ae package installed. --If inserting [noae] is the solution, how do I

Hi, I am trying to create a Bioconductor package. Everything installs and checks fine. Now I'm on my last step, which is to create a vignette. I'm trying to test the Sweave process, to make sure I can build a vignette. I am stuck at the texi2dvi stage, which fails when I try to process the example Sweave-test-1.tex file. I am using Windows binary R distributions, and have the same

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 am running R version 2.3.1 on a Windows XP machine with the latest Miktex 2.5 installed. I get no errors from R when running the Sweave example, testfile <- system.file("Sweave", "Sweave-test-1.Rnw", package = "utils") However, when I tex the resulting .tex file (after installing a4.sty) I get the error below. This is pdfeTeX, Version

Using Sweave on Windows (MikTeX 2.5 and R 2.4.1), I've ran into a bit of a problem with the tex -> DVI process. First, I've corrected the common \usepackage error by using \usepackage{"C:/Program Files/R/R-2.4.1/share/texmf/Sweave"} to get around the spacing problem. That is, LaTeX is finding the Sweave.sty, which has been a common problem in past postings here. However, my

I created a tex file following the example in the Sweave help which produced the following files in my working directory. Sweave-test-1-006.eps Sweave-test-1-006.pdf Sweave-test-1-007.eps Sweave-test-1-007.pdf Sweave-test-1.tex When I run latex on this, I get a latex error, log file below. I am running R 2.1.1 on Windows XP. I have installed "small MiKTeX" and I have added

Hi all, I know from googling that this is a common problem; I've just tried what I understand to be the common solutions to know avail -- maybe I'm just confused. I installed Miktex 2.8 -- it seems to be working fine. I'm using this demo document: http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/~houston/demo.Rnw I've copied the Sweave.sty file into at this point multiple places on the Miktex

I assume R won't easily generate nice reports (unless one starts using Sweave and LaTeX) but perhaps somebody here knows a package that can create report like output for special cases? How can I simply plot output into PDF? Perhaps you know a package I should check out? What do you guys do to create handouts (before actually publishing)? Thanks in advance, Ralf

Dear list,I have read really a lot the past few days, but I haven't found a matching solution for my problem.I have R 2.9.2 on Windows XP and MikTex 2.8 installed.What I want to do is to automate the sweave file generation.I thought I could use the R2Sweave, RweaveLatex, and Sweave in a combination so thatI won't need to do anything.Perhaps some minor modifications at the last step.My

I am working on a Windows XP machine with R 2.10.1 and a recent installation of MiKTeX 2.8. I use LyX (www.lyx.org) to write documents and have it set up to run Sweave, Stangle, and make the PDF through R using a batch script and a MakeSweave.R file. This system worked just fine until I ran some MiKTeX updates yesterday. This is a bit embarrassing as I helped produce a "How-to" guide to

In the process of updating R to R 2.7 alpha or R 2.7 beta for the BioConductor 2.2 builds on Windows, I have hit a snag because the BioC build system has long path names (e.g. D:\biocbld\bbs-2.2-bioc\R) and these path names are not resolving properly by MiKTeX 2.7 during vignette construction. Take, for example, the attached vignette from Biobase, Bioconductor.Rnw. I have built R from source

Hello, Are there any packages which allow for a good integration between R and LaTex / LyX? I'm interested mainly in automatic (automagic?) imports of plots/graphics. Thanks in advance and best regards, Eduardo de Oliveira Horta [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear Rxperts, I am aware of Sweave that generates reports into a pdf, but do know of any tools to generate to export to a MS Word document... Is there a way to use R to generate and export report/publication quality tables and figures and export them to MS word (for reporting purposes)? Thanks so much, Santosh [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hola. Estoy utilizando lyx con el módulo de knitr y tengo un problemilla con la función toLatex del paquete memisc. Pongo un ejemplo mejor. En Rstudio lo puedo hacer como sigue en un fichero Rnw. y la tabla en el pdf aparece alineada en el pdf. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{booktabs} \usepackage{dcolumn} \begin{document} <<>>= library(memisc) X1 <- rnorm(1000) X2 <-

I've been working on a LaTeX document that contains Sweave code and cannot get MikTeX to find the Sweave.sty file. I've added the c:\rw1081\share\texmf path in the MikTeX roots (I've ven added the path in the environment variables ) but to no avail. Is there a trick to getting Sweave installed correctly when using MikTeX on Windows XP? Do I need to move/copy the Sweave.sty file to the
