I usually do :
<<label=xyFile, echo=FALSE>>=
png("xyPlot.png", width = 800, height = 800)
@
<<label=xyPlot>>=
... ... ... # Code goes here.
@
<<label=xyClose, echo=FALSE>>=
null <- dev.off()
@
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics{xyPlot.png}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

>I am trying to get one of my packages to be less than 5Mb in size, and

>OK, so here’s my first plan and I’m not sure if it’s optimal::

>1. Produce the .jpg files by hand from my own PDF files.
>2. Change the .Rnw file so that it doesn’t produce the PDF files and
>the vignette uses the .jpg files instead.
>3. ship the package with the .jpg files and the modified .Rnw file.
>
>This is not ideal because it’s not reproducible: only *I* can create
>the jpg files from the original .Rnw file, as the new .Rnw file does
>not produce the PDF files.

>Or can I somehow coerce Sweave into producing jpg files instead of PDF?

>Can anyone advise?
