exampleproj

This project contains a Makefile and sample article for creating a new project using R and LaTeX.

To use this Makefile to create a new project:

1. Download the Makefile and article-generic.tex
2. Create a folder for your new project, e.g. (on Unix) mkdir exampleproj
3. Copy the downloaded files into this new folder
4. Run make: make

Following the steps above and using the file as-is will create:

• a setup.R file for clearing the workspace, setting paths, and loading libraries
• a data directory for storing data files (csv, rda, etc)
• a drafts directory for LaTeX, including a generic starter article
• a graphics library for storing plots and figures to include in your article
• an rcode directory for your R scripts
