Sorry.  This, and the description in the �Writing R Extensions� manual,
leaves me completely mystified.  Is it that I have to remove the PDFs
that are created when I run �R CMD build�, and somehow ensure that
they are rebuilt when the package is installed?  Do I need a Makefile?

I am doing [R version 3.1.2 (2014-10-31) -- "Pumpkin Helmet�; Platform: 
x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit)]

R CMD build DAAGviz
R CMD check DAAGviz_1.0.3.tar.gz

Without a .Rinstignore file, I get:

<<<
The following files should probably not be installed:
  �figs10.pdf�, �figs11.pdf�, �figs12.pdf�, �figs13.pdf�, �figs14.pdf�,
  �figs5.pdf�, �figs6.pdf�, �figs9.pdf�

Consider the use of a .Rinstignore file: see �Writing R Extensions�,
or move the vignette sources from �inst/doc� to �vignettes�.


The vignette sources were in �vignettes� when DAAGviz_1.0.3.tar.gz was created. 
 There was nothing in the �inst/doc� directory.

If I have in my .Rinstignore file

  inst/doc/.*[.]pdf

That filters out more than the files warned about.  I guess you meant

inst/doc/figs.*[.]pdf

But the question has to be: how did the files get copied into inst/doc?  Maybe

'When R CMD build builds the vignettes, it copies these and the vignette 
sources from directory vignettes to inst/doc. To install any other files from 
the vignettes directory, include a file vignettes/.install_extras which 
specifies these as Perl-like regular expressions on one or more lines. (See the 
description of the .Rinstignore file for full details.)'

suggests how?

then I get:

<<<
* checking package vignettes in �inst/doc� ... WARNING
Package vignettes without corresponding PDF/HTML:
. . .


What am I missing?  Can I ignore the "The following files should probably not 
be installed� message?

Not if you want to submit the package to CRAN.
