Not in the <<>>, but you could set a hook for fig:


>From Sweave docs:

If option "SweaveHooks" is defined as list(fig = foo), and foo is a function,
then it would be executed before the code in each figure chunk. This is
especially useful to set defaults for the graphical parameters in a series of
figure chunks.
