Sweave: no eps fig

Hi everyone,

I'm using R, Latex and Sweave for some years now, but today it confuses me alot:

Running Sweave produces only figures in .pdf format, no .eps figures.

The header looks like this:
<<echo=TRUE, fig=TRUE, label=Fig1>>=

There was no error message.

Does anybody have an idea?
Any changes in the Sweave-package?

Or a missing driver or something like that?
I recently switched to another OS (Fedora RedHat) - might that be the reason?

Grateful for any suggestions,
Lena

Starting with R 2.13.0, the default in Sweave is to produce only PDF and not EPS.

You really only need EPS plots if you are doing postscript magic (eg. PSTricks, which I use) and need to use latex rather than pdflatex.

From news():

o   The default for Sweave() is to produce only PDF figures (rather
    than both EPS and PDF).

Always a good idea to read news() if running a new version...  :-)

See ?RweaveLatex

You can either set:

  <<echo=TRUE, fig=TRUE, label=Fig1, eps=true>>=

or globally:

  \SweaveOpts{eps=true}

HTH,
