Hey, everybody: I've been using Lyx in conjunction with noweb and R to make statistical writeups. I've boiled this down to a pretty simple thing, described here:
http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/latex/lyxAndSweave.txt And I've got example lyx documents where you can test this yourself. http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/stats/Distributions/Gamma-02.lyx http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/stats/Distributions/Normal-01.lyx Those make documents that look nice! http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/stats/Distributions/Gamma-02.pdf http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/stats/Distributions/Normal-01.pdf In our computer lab, I've already done the basic system settings, putting Rweave script in /usr/local/bin and making sure noweb stuff is installed. The last problem that I've been able to solve is that when users take a file like Normal-01.lyx, then they can't view or export it because the converter from Noweb to LaTeX has not been set in their preferences. I think the preference dialogue is confusing and hard to describe to students. Is there a way I can automate the delivery of the preference \converter "literate" "latex" "Rweave $$i" "" with the lyx document itself, to save the users the re-configution problem? -- Paul E.
