[R] tikzDevice and Sweave

[Duncan Mackay]

Hi 

I use Sweave  and some tikz in latex but not in Sweave

Your problem is that you left out Sweave in the preamble
It must be in the preamble of any Sweave document

I added sizing so that it is not off the page. 
I do not know if Sweave options will cover this or you have to set it.
eg
\setkeys{Gin}{width=1.0\textwidth}   

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{Sweave}

\begin{document}

Figure~\ref{tikzExampleFig} is an example of \texttt{tikzDevice} package. 

\begin{figure}
\begin{center}

<<name = tikzFig, echo = FALSE, results = tex>>=
# % <<name = tikzFig, echo = FALSE, fig = TRUE>>=

# %<<tikzFig, echo = FALSE, fig = TRUE>>=
# setwd("/Users/nareshgurbuxani/Documents/tex/tikz")
library(tikzDevice)

# added height and width
tikz(console = TRUE, width = 4, height = 3)
plot(sin, -pi, 2*pi, main = "A stand alone TikZ plot", xlab = "x", ylab =
"sin(x)")
dummy <- dev.off()
@

\caption{Example of tikz graph}
\label{tikzExampleFig}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

If this is an example for a larger document then have a look at the latex
hyperref package

Resending as a useable example
