Dear all I've just tried the brand new 'grdevice' option in Sweave but couldn't make it work. When I declare \SweaveOpts{grdevice=pdf}
or \SweaveOpts{grdevice=cairo_pdf} trying to plot something simple <<fig=T, echo=T>>= plot(1:10,1:10,main='Some title') @ would result in an Sweave error: 18:16:47.299: 1 : term verbatim 18:16:47.308: 2 : echo term verbatim pdf pdf 18:16:47.391: Error in dev(name = chunkprefix, width = options$width, height = options$height, : 18:16:47.392: unused argument(s) (name = chunkprefix) 18:16:47.393: Calls: Sweave -> <Anonymous> -> dev 18:16:47.396: Execution halted Systemcall.cpp(238): Systemcall: 'Rscript --verbose --no-save --no-restore "/usr/local/share/lyx-svn/scripts/lyxsweave.R" "/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.J15281/lyx_tmpbuf5/""newfile2.Rnw" "/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.J15281/lyx_tmpbuf5/""newfile2.tex" ISO-8859-15 "/tmp/"' finished with exit code 1 Error: Cannot convert file ---------------------------------------- An error occurred while running: Rscript --verbose --no-save --no-restore "/usr/local/share/lyx-svn/scripts/lyxsweave.R" "/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.J15281/lyx_tmpbuf5/""newfile2.Rnw" "/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.J15281/lyx_tmpbuf5/""newfile2.tex" ISO-8859-15 "/tmp/" 18:16:47.978: Error while previewing format: pdf2 If I comment out the statement %\SweaveOpts{grdevice=pdf} the compilation proceeds as expected. Hoping that it gets through, I'm attaching the Sweave file. Am I doing something wrong?
