pictex                 package:base                 R Documentation

A PicTeX Graphics Driver

Description:

     This function produces graphics suitable for inclusion in TeX and
     LaTeX documents.

Usage:

     pictex(file = "Rplots.tex", width = 5, height = 4, debug = FALSE,
            bg = "white", fg = "black")

Arguments:

    file: the file where output will appear.

   width: The width of the plot in inches.

  height: the height of the plot in inches.

   debug: should debugging information be printed.

      bg: the background color for the plot.

      fg: the foreground color for the plot.

Details:

     This driver does not have any font metric information, so the use
     of `plotmath' is not supported.

     Multiple plots will be placed as separate environments in the
     output file.
