iterations inside odfWeave

I am writing a report using odfWeave, and I need to run a function
several times to produce several pages of charts.

Here's my best attempt - unfortunately it only produces one chart
instead of multiple:

<<fig3,echo=FALSE,fig=TRUE>>=
for( q in tickers_) {
	multi_graph(q,asofDate)
}

Is there a "right" way to do it?

I'd suggest emailing the maintainer of odfWeave, and perhaps sending 
this query to r-help.  It has nothing directly to do with finance.

Brian,

Your point is taken.

However, odfWeave does not have a dedicated mailing list, and, in my
experience, similar problems seem to arise in pursuit of similar objectives.

How often does a statistician write a paper where he does not know the
structure of his data beforehand? But a trader never knows how many
securities are going to satisfy his pre-screening criteria.

Yes, but similar problems do not necessarily require similar
solutions.  And the lack of a dedicated mailing list is why Brian
suggested contacting the package maintainer and/or R-help.

Determining the structure of your data does not require a report built
with odfWeave.  This may be a more appropriate mailing list if you
were searching for a more general solution, but your problem is really
with odfWeave.  Brian and I don't intend to be rude; your question
will simply be more likely answered better/faster on a different list.
