Export figures from R to Latex

[Biru Zhou]

Hello, everyone

I am having difficulties exporting figures from the statistical
program R to Latex. I think I might have the wrong package. Does
anyone know the step by step way to put the R figures into Latex?
NOTE.

Hello, everyone

I am having difficulties exporting figures from the statistical

program R to Latex. I think I might have the wrong package or
something. Does anyone know the step by step way to put the R
generated figures into Latex? I really mean step by step since I am a
new user for both R and Latex.

NOTE. I am NOT using the {apa} document class, but I am using the
{report} document class.

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,

Biru

Save your files as eps or pdf and then use include graphics to
incorporate into your LaTeX document.

I've written down details in this essay:

http://pj.freefaculty.org/stat/ps706/Downloads/StuffWorthKnowing.pdf

Look in the chapter on Plotting for a section on "how to save graphics in R".

and there is also an R script that demonstrates several ways of saving
graphs here:

Paul's answer is the right way for a beginner, but if you're willing
to read some documentation tikzdevice (http://r-forge.r-project.org/
projects/tikzdevice/) produces really pretty output. See
http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/tikzdevice-demo/ for some
example code.

Hi,

Biru Zhou <biru...@gmail.com> 09-Feb-10 22:26:

In R:

?postscript
?png
?jpg

eg

postscript(file="myplot.eps",horizontal=FALSE,onefile=FALSE,paper="special",width=5,height=5)
plot(1:10)
dev.off()

Then, include the graphics file like you would into any other LaTeX
document with

\includegraphics{myplot}

If you need more help, please provide more information.

You might also want to try my R package cmrutils, which includes
Computer Modern fonts suitable for R plots. Computer Modern is the
default TeX font family. Having consistent fonts makes your documents
look really "professional".
