I inserted your example into testrgl.Rnw under R 2.13.0, with Sweave.snapshot() at the end of both chunks, but things did not work as expected. I used: $ R CMD Sweave testrgl.Rnw $ pdflatex tesetrgl (view testrgl.pdf) When R CMD Sweave is run the graphics is displayed interactively. There is no graphics in the PDF file, even though both .png files are read when pdflatex is run.
