#pgfSweave README | ||
##ABOUT | ||
|
||
The pgfSweave package provides capabilities for "caching" graphics | ||
generated with Sweave. Using pgfSweave, figure labels are converted to | ||
LaTeX strings so not only do they match the style of the document but math | ||
can be put in labels. pgfSweave provides a new driver for Sweave | ||
(pgfSweaveDriver) and new chunk options pgf and external on top of the | ||
cache option provided by cacheSweave. This package is built upon | ||
cacheSweave and therefore also Sweave. | ||
|
||
|
||
##TODO | ||
|
||
* Add option to copy Sweave.sty to the local directory, circumventing path | ||
issues on windows | ||
|
||
* Add options to access the noae and nogin options in Sweave.sty. The | ||
logical thing for pgfSweave is to set nogin by default i.e. | ||
`\usepackage[nogin]{Sweave}`. | ||
|
||
|
||
##BUGS | ||
* If java does not exist the compilation is reported as successful though | ||
the pgf file did not properly get created. | ||
|
||
* A stray Rplots.pdf gets generated using caching. Not sure if this a | ||
cacheSweave or Sweave or a pgfSweave problem. When using a gui | ||
interface a plotting window opens up. | ||
|
||
|
||
##ISSUES: | ||
|
||
* `external=T` only works if a single plot is generated with a single code | ||
chunk. This is an issue with Sweave as well. The offered fix in Sweave | ||
is to `cat()` your own includegraphics commands. | ||
|
||
* Not all latex commands work in labels for example `\scshape` works but | ||
`\textsc{}` does not | ||
|
||
* Changing the width and height of a figure ONLY but not the code chunk | ||
does not register as a change and thus the code chunk will not | ||
recompile. | ||
|
||
|
||
##POSSIBLE NEW FEATURES | ||
|
||
* chunk dependency checking like weaver using codetools. | ||
|
||
* Scrap Sweave.sty completely (since it is so short) just copy the few | ||
lines of LaTeX defining the Sweave environments into the tex file. | ||
|
||
* Nicer LaTeX number formatting. | ||
|
||
* Follow `\input` and `\include` statements. | ||
|
||
* Automatically add the `\pgfrealjobname` command if it is not already in | ||
the file like the Sweave style file is added when `stylepath=TRUE`. | ||
|
||
* When a pgf/TikZ graphic is included manually (not in a code chunk) add | ||
the commands to externalize into the graphics into the shell script that | ||
is created. This may need to be a separate function that gives the tex | ||
file a once over and checks if the pdf file exists corresponding to the | ||
name in `\beginpgfgraphicnamed{name}` or the corresponding TikZ | ||
externalization command. There are already scripts available on example | ||
to do stuff like this so maybe integration of one of those may be | ||
possible. | ||
|
||
* Add support for TikZ externalization. TikZ externalization library is | ||
more elegant and could provide more advanced options. For example the | ||
option to create a make file would be really awesome since it would take | ||
care of most of the checking for graphics changes on the part of | ||
pgfSweave. This would be a substantial change, requring alot of | ||
rewriting of internal code. | ||
|
||
|
||
## RESOLVED (resolution in brackets) | ||
* latex/pdflatex is not found when using R.app (Mac OS X) unless path to | ||
pdflatex is hardcoded (but pgfSweave <file> works) | ||
[put path to latex distro in .Rprofile (see vignette faq)] | ||
|
||
* Package currently generates a bash shell script to compile external | ||
graphics, which will not work in windows. | ||
[This actually does work on windows if Rtools and MiKTeX are installed] | ||
|
||
* Using the 'pdf' option and 'external' option will conflict suggest using | ||
one or the other or possibly have a default when this is the case | ||
[If pgf is TRUE it supercedes everything else] | ||
|
||
* output pdf size when included in document is refined by textwidth by | ||
default, need a feature to add the 'width' and 'height' and possibly and | ||
other option 'scale' the `\includegraphics[width=,height=,scale=]{file}` | ||
[Use `\usepackage[nogin]{Sweave}`] | ||
|
||
* Vignette does not compile with R CMD {check,build,install} because file | ||
is not normal Sweave (Solution for the final document may just be to | ||
save images separately and create a standard Sweave file). For now | ||
vignette moved to `inst/doc/src`. | ||
[Elaborate make file created in `inst/misc/vignette-source`, run make then | ||
make cleanforbuild before uploading] | ||
|
||
|
||
##DONE (old TODO items): | ||
|
||
* pgf graphics device. | ||
[Started tikzDevice on r-forge] | ||
|
||
* Figure out how to fill the environment variable $R_HOME in | ||
exec/pgfSweave | ||
[Irrelevant now, see next item] | ||
|
||
* Figure out how to call the script exec/pgfSweave when using R CMD | ||
pgfSweave | ||
[Used a Makevars file to create symlink in $RHOME/bin, basically | ||
a much simplified version of Charlie's method] | ||
|
||
* Documentation has a boatload of warnings under R CMD check. | ||
|
||
* Figure out how to call eps2pgf.jar with the rJava package | ||
[scrapped for now, write a pgf graphics device!] | ||
|
||
* Determine the limitations R CMD pgfSweave. | ||
[shell script pgfSweave in exec/ will do the same but using R CMD is not | ||
possible withoud a rewrite of the Rcmd script] | ||
|
||
* Determine if pgf 2.00 contains the external capabilities so that can be | ||
stated in the vignette and the documentation. | ||
[must use at least pgf 2.00] |
