Dear useRs,
I'm trying to use ggplot2 in Sweave (R 2.5.1). The plots use the alpha
channel, so I need to use pdf version 1.4. Search the mailinglist
archive I found two solutions: \SweaveOpts{echo = FALSE,
pdf.version=1.4} and explicit writing to a pdf 1.4 file. The latter
works but the first doesn't. Probably I'm doing something wrong (see the
Rnw file below). The file tmp_tmp.pdf is generated but is corrupt.
Using the second option, is there a way to create the filename based on
some variable. Something like
x <- "sometext"
filename <- paste(x, ".pdf", sep = "")
pdf(file=filename, version="1.4")
But how can I pass the filename to \includegraphics?
The Rnw file
\documentclass[11pt]{report}
\usepackage{Sweave}
\SweaveOpts{echo = FALSE, pdf.version=1.4, eps = FALSE}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
<<tmp, fig = T, width = 5, height = 4>> library(ggplot2)
x <- runif(100)
dataset <- data.frame(x = x, y = 5 * x + rnorm(100))
ggplot(dataset, aes(y = y, x = x)) + stat_smooth() + geom_jitter()
@
\caption{Here comes a caption.}
\label{fig:tmp}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}
\centering
<<fig = F>> pdf(file="foo.pdf", version="1.4")
ggplot(dataset, aes(y = y, x = x)) + stat_smooth() + geom_jitter()
dev.off()
@
\incudegraphics{foo}
\caption{Here comes a caption.}
\label{fig:foo}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
Thanks in advance,
Thierry
