knitr-spin.Rmd

This is a special R script which can be used to generate a report. You can
write normal text in roxygen comments.

First we set up some options (you do not have to do this):

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
library(knitr)
opts_chunk$set(fig.path='figure/silk-')
```

The report begins here.

```{r test-a, cache=FALSE}
# boring examples as usual
set.seed(123)
x = rnorm(5)
mean(x)
```

Now we continue writing the report. We can draw plots as well.

```{r test-b, fig.width=5, fig.height=5}
par(mar = c(4, 4, .1, .1)); plot(x)
```

Actually you do not have to write chunk options, in which case knitr will use
default options. For example, the code below has no options attached:

```{r }
var(x)
quantile(x)
```

And you can also write two chunks successively like this:

```{r test-chisq5}
sum(x^2) # chi-square distribution with df 5
```{r test-chisq4}
sum((x - mean(x))^2) # df is 4 now
```

Done. Call spin('knitr-spin.R') to make silk from sow's ear now and knit a
lovely purse.
