[R] Output including listing and graphs.

[Greg Snow]

As previously mentioned, the knitr package and related work well if
you have a script that you want to run.  If you want a basic R script
without worrying much about markup then I suggest looking at the spin
and stitch functions in the knitr packge.

If on the other hand you do not have a script prepared, but would
rather just type commands and have the transcript saved as you go
along, like the sink function but saving commands and graphs as well,
then have a look at the pander package (you need to specify which
pieces to save) or the txtStart and related functions in the
TeachingDemos package or similar functions in the R2HTML package.
These later ones have you run a  function to start saving the output,
run a function to include the current graph at that point in the
transcript (R cannot know if you are adding more or not) and another
function to stop saving.
