[R] One pdf file with plots and text output

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

You create a source file ("GrowthAll.Rnw") that looks a bit like this

\documentclass[11pt]{report}
\usepackage{Sweave}
\SweaveOpts{echo = FALSE}
\begin{document}

<<fig = T>>=
x.lm <- lm()
plot(x.lm)
@

<<>>=
summary(x.lm)
@
\end{document}


Then run in R: 
Sweave("GrowthAll.Rnw")
system("pdflatex GrowthAll")

Have a look at the Sweave manual. It contains some examples.

HTH,

Thierry

Do not put your faith in what statistics say until you have carefully
considered what they do not say.  ~William W. Watt
A statistical analysis, properly conducted, is a delicate dissection of
uncertainties, a surgery of suppositions. ~M.J.Moroney
