[R] Questions on Inserting R graphs in latex!

[Liaw, Andy]

This is not an R problem, but LaTeX.  

Seems like the `slides' document class you're using doesn't recognize the
`figure' environment.  You should check that.

I seem to recall that you need to specify a driver option for graphicx, such
as `epsfig' for some such.  You should check the documentation for that
package.
