This is something, I'm looking for since many years... ... maybe about a decade.... ... R as graphical pre-processor and data-analyser for LaTeX, and LaTeX as a tool to write papers with analysed data imported into the papers. This noweb-based approach (literate programming is so wunderful) is so much better than the many workarounds with so many other tools. When I remember -- for example -- metapost and the problem of not being able to name the outputs arbitrarily (using numbers for the figures is the only possibility), and hand made inserting the results with \includegraphics, this is so much better! Maybe noweb can also be used to insert not only R-stuff but also creations from metapost, dia, dot (graphviz) and other tools into a LaTeX-document. This is the right way to make documents and research clean and handy. :) Ciao, Oliver ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
