SweaveMiktex: Simple function to run MikTeX

In patchDVI: Package to Patch '.dvi' or '.synctex' Files

Description

This is a simple script to run Sweave, then MikTeX, then patchDVI.

Usage

SweaveMiktex(Rnw, main, 
    cmd = "texify",
    options = "--tex-option=-src-specials --tex-option=-interaction=nonstopmode",
    includedir = "--tex-option=--include-directory=",
    stylepath = FALSE, 
    source.code = NULL, 
    make = 1, 
    preview = 'yap "%s"', 
    patchLog=TRUE,
    sleep = 0, ...)
		  
SweavePDFMiktex(Rnw, main,  
    cmd = "texify --pdf", 
    options = "--tex-option=-synctex=-1 --tex-option=-interaction=nonstopmode",
    includedir = "--tex-option=-include-directory=",
    stylepath = FALSE, 
    source.code = NULL, 
    make = 1, 
    preview = NULL, 
    patchLog = TRUE, 
    sleep = 0, ...)
		  
SweaveDVI(Rnw, main, 
    texinputs = NULL, 
    source.code = NULL, 
    make = 1, 
    links = NULL,
    preview = NULL, 
    patchLog = TRUE, ...)

SweavePDF(Rnw, main, 
    texinputs = NULL, 
    source.code = NULL, 
    make = 1, 
    links = NULL,
    preview = NULL, 
    patchLog = TRUE, ...)
	  
SweaveDVIPDFM(Rnw, main, 
    latex = "latex", latexOpts = "-synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode", 
    dvipdfm = "dvipdfm", dvipdfmOpts = "", 
    texinputs = NULL, 
    source.code = NULL, 
    make = 1, 
    preview = NULL, 
    patchLog = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

Rnw	The .Rnw input file
main	The .tex file on which to run latex, defaulting to the output file from Sweave
cmd	The LaTeX command to run
options	Options to pass to LaTeX
includedir	The prefix for an option to give the location of Sweave.sty
stylepath	stylepath argument to pass to Sweave
source.code	If not NULL, a filename to source before running Sweave
make	Value to pass to SweaveAll to control which Sweave files are processed
preview	Command to use to preview result, or NULL for no preview
patchLog	Whether to attempt to patch the console log and ‘.log’ file
sleep	Number of seconds to sleep if an error is detected in the run
texinputs	Extra paths to pass to texi2dvi
links	If not NULL, an option to turn on production of source links via Synctex or source specials
latex,latexOpts	The function to call to convert the ‘.tex’ to ‘.dvi’, and options to put on the command line.
dvipdfm, dvipdfmOpts	The function to call to convert the ‘.dvi’ to ‘.pdf’, and options to put on the command line.
...	Additional options to pass to SweaveAll

Details

If the Rnw argument is a filename ending in ‘.tex’, then weaving is skipped, but the ‘.dvi’ file is still patched (because one of the other files in the project might have come from Sweave).

The source.code argument may be used to temporarily install code before running the document through the weaver (e.g. Sweave). It could install an experimental version of Sweave, or set up some variables to be used by other code chunks, etc. (Note that things are sourced locally, whereas Sweave runs things in the global environment, so the file will need to make explicit assignments there, and it should avoid using names that clash with the argument names to SweaveMiktex or SweavePDFMiktex.)

The functions invoke Latex differently. SweaveMiktex is designed to call Miktex's texify command to produce a ‘.dvi’ file. SweavePDFMiktex does the same, but produces a ‘.pdf’. SweaveDVI and SweavePDF are similar, but use a modified version of R's texi2dvi function to invoke Latex. SweaveDVIPDFM does the conversion to ‘.pdf’ in two stages.

The patchLog option makes use of the new patchLog function.

Value

These functions are run for the side effects.
