[R] sweave tables as images?

[Yihui Xie]

You may take a look at knitr's graphics manual which tells you how you
can automatically crop the white margins:
https://github.com/downloads/yihui/knitr/knitr-graphics.pdf ("Cropping
PDF Graphics").

I'm not sure if pdfcrop works in this case, though.

Yihui
