[R] How to include the documentation of a function in a Sweave document?

[Henrique Dallazuanna]

You can use '\include' also:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

\include{/usr/local/lib/R/library/graphics/latex/plot}
%file.path(system.file(package="graphics"), "latex", "plot")

\end{document}

I don't know if there is a way of input file.path in include by Sweave.
