Hi

There are a number of packages that produce latex from R, Sweave, brew, knitr - ones that come to mind. It happens that i use Sweave.
The package you finally use may depend on your preferences

The graphic output in R may also depend on what latex you use and other requirements - eg if you want to use it in a publication or share.

Below is rather complex code from what I have done in the past in a loop and altered to give you an idea. It was done this way for a purpose as there may be better and more efficient ways to do it
Basically :
1 The data is imported in a Sweave chunk
2 A tex file is created to add the figures in latex
3 A loop is created to print the graphs to go into latex and the latex code is added to the tex file for each graphic
4 the tex file is added to the sweave document as \input

  # import file
  data <- read.table(x)

  # Create Latex file for figures and \input
  ftex <-
  "D:/Cic/Sweave/Sheep/AWTA/11/SheepWool-AWTA-Data11PRa.tex"

  if (file.exists(ftex) ) file.remove(ftex)

  file.create(ftex)

  # open to append
  ff <- file(ftex, "a+")

  # Store macro text
  fchars <- ""

  # Plot data ? pdf
  # numeric columns (not dates which are the first)
  for (j in c(0:2) ) {

    pdf(file = filename etc)

    print(graph eg xyplot)

    dev.off()

    # Comment
    if (j == 0 ){

      fchars <-
      paste(fchars,
          "\\newpage\n\n",
            "%******************************\n",
            "% splom ofdaa2[,c(34:36)]|paste(FarmID,YearOfTesting)",
            "ex label{CWW.7.2.1}\n",
            sep = "")

    }  ## j == 1 **

    # R macro
    fchars <-
    paste(fchars, "\n",
          paste("%", yvar, "\n",
                "\\begin{landscape}\n"),
          paste("\\begin{figure}\n\\centering\n"),
          paste("\\includegraphics[height=0.88\\textheight,%\n",
              "                trim=0.5in 0.5in 0.5in 0.5in,%\n",
              "                keepaspectratio=true]%\n"),
          paste("                {", filename, "}\n", sep = ""),
          paste("\\pdfbookmark[3]{Pairs of ",
                c("Hogget ","Ewe ","Wether ")[(j+1)], yvar, "}{",
                "CWW.7.3.", j,
                "}\\label{", "CWW.7.3.", j, "}\n", sep = ""),
          paste("\\caption{",
                "Pairs plot of ", c("Hogget ","Ewe ","Wether ")[(j+1)],
                yvar, " against ",
                "\\textsf{YearOfTesting, FarmID}:\ ",
                basenom, "}\n", sep = ""),
          paste("\\end{figure}\n\n",
                "\\end{landscape}\n",
                "\\clearpage\n\n", sep = ""),
                sep = "")

  } ## for (j in seq_along(ysufbwo) )

  # write % filename and close
  writeLines(fchars, ff)
  close(ff)

How can i use Latex code in R loop. Any example will help me a lot.

Thanks
