Hi Eduardo

in the preamble put

\usepackage[figureright]{rotating}

see manual for figureright if you do not like it

and then some graphics with options where needed

\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=,%
                 clip=true,%
                 trim=0in 0in 0in 0in,% LBRT
                 keepaspectratio=true]%
                 {filename}
\end{sidewaysfigure}

otherwise \usepackage landscape (check spelling) for a full page

Dear R-users

I am trying to understand how Sweave works by running some simple examples. In the example I am working with there is a chunk where the R-commands related to plotting a figure are placed. When running R CMD Sweave … , pdflatex the output is a portrait figure. I wonder whether it would be possible to change the orientation to landscape (not in the latex file but in Rnw file).

Sweave can change the height and width of the figure so it is more landscape-shaped (width > height) using options at the start of the chunk.

Rotating a figure is something LaTeX needs to do: you would tell Sweave to produce the figure but not include it, then use \includegraphics{} with the right option to rotate it.

For example:

<<Myfig, fig=TRUE, include=FALSE, width=7in, height=4in>>=
plot(rnorm(100))
@

\includegraphics[angle=90,width=0.8\textheight]{Myfig}

This is untested, and you'll need to consult a LaTeX reference for rotating the figure caption, etc.
