Sweave, LaTeX, and ... quartz?

Hi Folks,

I was wondering how others generate on-screen graphics and graphics  
files when they want to use Sweave to generate Latex documents.

I am using Aquamacs
( GNU Emacs 22.0.97.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0, Carbon Version  
1.6.0)  of 2007-04-15 on rodrigues.inf.ed.ac.uk - Aquamacs  
Distribution 1.0rc3 )

I have been using x11(), but I would prefer to use a quartz device,  
simply because the on-screen quality is much better, and I imagine  
there are other advantages as well?

Is CarbonEL still recommended? An older hack seems unavailable.

Thank you for your solutions.

should work regardless of the R version...

Hi Simon,
Thank you kindly.
I am using R 2.5.0 on a PowerPC with OS 10.4.9

That failed (output below), and I am not sure where to go from here.
Any input would be great.
Hank

I have posted CarbonEL for R 2.5.0, so it should now work even  
without type='source'.

            

      
      
      
    

        
Please make sure you have Xcode 2.4.1 installed. It appears as if  
you're missing the gcc compiler. In case you're running the old gcc  
3.3, try
sudo gcc_select 4.0
before installing CarbonEL.

Cheers,
Simon
