This allows the user to freely mix the reporting and typesetting capabilities of \LaTeX\ with the numerical abilities of R, for a form of literate analysis. +\end{abstract} + + \section{Usage} +\subsection{compilation} +\emph{This package requires modification of the commands used to compile a document.} It requires an additional pass, and R must be invoked to process the numerical data. Normally the sequence +\begin{verbatim} +latex filename +R --slave < filename.R > filename.R.out +latex filename +latex filename +dvips filename.ps +ps2pdf filename.pdf +\end{verbatim} +will serve. This works in both Unix and Windows under the command line if necessary programs are on the path. + +To summarize, the following steps are necessary to use this package +\begin{enumerate} +\item run latex on the source file +\item run the command \texttt{R --slave < filename.R > filename.R.out} +\item process the source file as normal (i.e. run latex twice to ensure references are correct, and if necessary process the dvi to the necessary final file format) +\end{enumerate} + +\DescribeMacro{\textbackslash{}Rvalue\oarg{significant figures}\marg{expression}} +This command will instruct R to evaluate the expression, round the result to the specified number of significant figures (default is 4), and display the result inline in your document. + +Since this command rounds, the expression must evaluate to a number. If your expression evaluates to a string, use \verb|\Rvalue*| instead. +To execute R commands, use the \LaTeX\ command + +\DescribeMacro{\textbackslash{}Rvalue*\oarg{significant figures}\marg{expression}} +This command functions like the unstarred version, but does not round the resulting value. It can display string values. + +\DescribeMacro{\textbackslash{}Rcmd\marg{command}} +This command will be passed to R to be executed. Nothing is displayed in your document from this command, but it can affect variables which can later be displayed. + +The most common use for this function is to set a variable. + +\DescribeMacro{\textbackslash{}Rset\oarg{significant figures}\marg{variable}\marg{expression}} +This command will set the specified variable equal to the specified expression. It will also display the assignment and the result of the expression in the document. + +\DescribeMacro{\textbackslash{}Rset*\oarg{significant figures}\marg{variable}\marg{expression}} +This is just like \texttt{Rset}, but will not display the expression, only the resulting value. + +\DescribeMacro{\textbackslash{}Rcode\marg{expression}} +Like \texttt{\textbackslash{}Rcmd}, this will instruct R to evaluate the expression. It will also display the expression in your document. + +\DescribeMacro{\textbackslash{}Rtable\marg{col1,col2,...}\marg{num rows}} +This command produces the body of a \LaTeX\ formatted table using the given values. Multiple columns can be listed by separating the columns with commas. The number of rows must be specified separately as the second argument. + +The results here are not rounded, but may be strings. To round values, use the R function \texttt{round} or \texttt{signif} on a column. + +\section{R definitions} +A small number of R functions and variables are defined in addition to the \LaTeX\ macros. The most important of these allows users to easily format numbers as percentages. +\subsection{topercent(value,decimal places=0)} +This function converts the specified value to a percentage with the specified number of decimal places. Note that since the result is a string, it can only be displayed via the \verb|\Rvalue*| macro. +\subsection{variables} +\begin{tabular}{l r} +name & value\\ +\hline +backslash & "\textbackslash"\\ +percent & "\%"\\ +\end{tabular} + +\section{Examples} +\subsection{Quadratic Formula} +Consider solving a quadratic equation.

Because of this, on the first pass \textbackslash{}Rvalue produces no output, and \textbackslash{}Rtable produces only \verb|0\\|. This is usually harmless, but can cause \LaTeX\ to balk, especially if in a table which is formated in strange ways. + +I'd prefer a more elegant solution, but normally hitting the enter key until \LaTeX\ finishes this first run will solve all issues. + +\end{document} |
