Sweave - landscape figure

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

 Hi Eduardo

 in the preamble put

 \usepackage[figureright]{**rotating}

 see manual for figureright if you do not like it

 and then some graphics with options where needed

 \begin{sidewaysfigure}
 \centering
 \includegraphics[width=,%
                 clip=true,%
                 trim=0in 0in 0in 0in,% LBRT
                 keepaspectratio=true]%
                 {filename}
 \end{sidewaysfigure}

 otherwise \usepackage landscape (check spelling) for a full page

 Dear R-users

 I am trying to understand how Sweave works by running some simple
 examples.  In the example I am working with there is a chunk where the
 R-commands related to plotting a figure are placed.  When running R CMD
 Sweave ? , pdflatex the output is a portrait figure.  I wonder whether it
 would be possible to change the orientation to landscape (not in the latex
 file but in Rnw file).

 Sweave can change the height and width of the figure so it is more
 landscape-shaped (width>  height) using options at the start of the chunk.

 Rotating a figure is something LaTeX needs to do:  you would tell Sweave
 to produce the figure but not include it, then use \includegraphics{} with
 the right option to rotate it.

 For example:

 <<Myfig, fig=TRUE, include=FALSE, width=7in, height=4in>>=
 plot(rnorm(100))
 @

 \includegraphics[angle=90,**width=0.8\textheight]{Myfig}

 This is untested, and you'll need to consult a LaTeX reference for
 rotating the figure caption, etc.

You did something you aren't telling us. (Since you aren't showing us what you did, that's pretty much certain.)

It doesn't if you do it right. (I did it wrong: I used Latex style 7in instead of Sweave style 7.)

Hi there

This is what I did:


<<Myfig1, fig=TRUE, include=FALSE>>=
print(xyplot(data.flow,xlab="Time",ylab="Flow"))
@

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[angle=90,width=0.8\textheight]{Myfig1}
\caption{First Data}
\end{figure}

and here is the latex error.

! LaTeX Error: File `Myfig1' not found.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...

l.92 ...ics[angle=90,width=0.8\textheight]{Myfig1}


There is the pdf file - example_flow-Myfig1.pdf 
but not Myfig1 as in the above command.

As for the second part, you were right about 
leaving out "in".  However what changes is not 
the "canvas size" but each figure within the 
plot (There are 14 subfigures). Again the canvas 
size in the first solution is smaller than in the third solution.

Many thanks for your help and patience.

Cheers

Ed
