Now package relax is on CRAN.

The name relax is short for
 
    R Editor for Literate Analysis and lateX

The main element of package relax is the function relax() which starts an
all-in-one editor for data analysis and easy creation of LaTeX based 
documents
with R.

After calling relax() it creates a tcl/tk widget with a report field. 
 The report field
enables you to enter R expressions as well as pieces of text to document 
your ideas.
Computations and plots can be included quickly. After finishing your work
the sequence of text chunks, code chunks and integrated graphics and/or 
R-output
will constitute the basis of your work. To achieve a higher quality 
relax integrates
LaTeX compilation for professional formatting and pretty printing.

Dependencies:

* R (>= 2.1.0), tcltk
* relax runs on windows systems, LaTeX / ghostscript has to be installed
* on Linux systems you have to install the img-package for tcltk
