All right. I did some more digging. It turns out that the real problem is
that the version of the "standalone" LaTeX package installed on my Debian
system is 1.1a. The easiest fix is to replace the three files
"standalone.cfg", "standalone.cls", and "standalone.sty" with the most
recent version from CTAN, which is 1.1b. Now I use
"\documentclass[preview]{standalone}" in my Rnw file to get the desired
results.On Sun, Dec 2, 2012 at 11:10 PM, Yihui Xie <x...@yihui.name> wrote: > fig=TRUE is irrelevant here, and knitr does not need fig=TRUE at all > (plots are automatically recorded). > > The real problem is the [preview] option; remove it and you are all set. > > Next time if you have problems with tikzDevice, you can take a look at > the LaTeX log to know what exactly is wrong, e.g. in this case you > will see > > !
