Hello
Many thanks for the replies.
Solution 1 (landscape package) works but the output figure is kind of small.
Solution2: includegraphics outside - Unfortunately it does not work.
Includegraphics cannot find Myfig.
Solution 3- \usepackage[figureright]{rotating} works and the output figure
is in a reasonable size.
I am using print(xyplot) from lattice to plot the figures and have noticed
that adding width and height options breaks Sweave in all cases.
Cheers
Ed
