[ESS] cannot explicitly include graphics in ESS when write seave file

[Frede Aakmann Tøgersen]

Hi

In case you're using M-n l (that is latex) besides to the bb= options to \includegraphics use a scale={a number between 0 and 1} option in order to get rid of the overfull hbox.

But it is much easier just to use M-n P (pdflatex). To get the pdflatex instead of texi2pdf, see the ess-swv-pdflatex-commands variable.

Try C-h v ess-swv-pdflatex-commands [RETURN] with the cursor in a .tex or . Rnw buffer. It should give something like this (this is my customized definition on a linux box):

***********************************************************************
ess-swv-pdflatex-commands is a variable defined in `ess-custom.el'.
Its value is 
("pdflatex" "texi2pdf" "make")



Documentation:
Commands to run a version of pdflatex in  M-x ess-swv-PDF;
the first entry is the default command.

You can customize this variable.
**********************************************************************

As it says in the help for this variable you can customize it. Either by clicking the relevant link in the help page or by doing

M-x customize-variable [RETURN] ess-swv-pdflatex-commands [RETURN]

Hope that helps.


Yours sincerely / Med venlig hilsen
