So the time has come for me to face the fact that I have no time to maintain pgfSweave. It was recently archived because I didn’t make necessary changes to comply with some CRAN policies. SO, I need someone to step up to the plate to make some tweakes, put it back up on CRAN [...]
Ever been editing an .Rnw (Sweave) file and tried to sync a pdf with the source in TeXShop (or TeXWorks) and had it open the .tex file? This is because the synctex information (in the .synctex.gz file) is messed up. Both TeXShop and TeXWorks support synctex, that means that if everything is groovy, we should [...]
R 2.13 introduces an option to specify a custom graphics device in an Sweave code chunk. This is really cool and allows you to use tikzDevice output like pgfSweave does. In an pinch, say when you dont have access to any non-core packages, you can use tikzDevice output with the regular Sweave driver (RweaveLatex) more [...]
I just uploaded version 1.2.1 of pgfSweave, and I think it is just great! The most notable new feature is the use of the TikZ externalization library list and make feature instead of the pgf \begingraphicnamed functionality. This has some important consequences: PGF 2.10 is required! This has been out for some months now but [...]
pgfSweave 1.1.3 is now on CRAN. This release adds a few new features and fixes some bugs The pesky Rplots.pdf file is not generated anymore Brand new vignette by Hans Ekbrand on the use of pgfSweave with large data sets based on this site. New example on using caching by Yihui Xie Reusing code chunks [...]
The next release of pgfSweave is now on CRAN! It has been a while since I posted about pgfSweave and there have been some significant changes in the past couple of months. The main new features are: Automatic code highlighting via the highlight package. This can be turned off with the highlight option. “Tidying” of [...]
Version 1.0.5 is now on CRAN. This version brings some bug fixes as well as two new features: Unlabeled code chunks are now allowed. The correct version of PGF is now checked for on startup. If the version is < 2.00, the package will fail to load. http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/pgfSweave/index.html
At long last pgfSweave has finally made its way to CRAN. http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/pgfSweave/index.html The pgfSweave R package is about speed and style of graphics. For speed, the package provides capabilities for “caching” graphics generated with Sweave on top of the caching funcitonality of cacheSweave. For style the pgfSweave package facilitates the integration of R graphics with [...]
Development of the R package tikzDevice has been underway for about a month now. This package allows for the output of R graphics as TikZ commands. Charlie Sharpsteen and I have gotten it into an alpha stage. There is no real documentation but there is plenty of comments in the code. We have a R-forge [...]
Sweave is an awesome utility for including the output of R code in a LaTeX document which I have started using regularly. TeXShop is my favorite editor/viewer for LaTeX under Mac OS X for many reasons. One of which is the speed of the edit -> compile -> view process which it enables. Therefore, I [...]
