[Tikzdevice-bugs] Single file with tikzDevice

[Cameron Bracken]

Interesting Idea.  This should work with plain Sweave.  It is not very
efficient and would be very slow for large files since it must write
out then read in then write out.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage[nogin]{Sweave}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[ht]
\centering
<<inline,echo=F,results=tex>>=

  require(tikzDevice)
  tf <- tempfile()
  tikz(tf,width=5,height=5)
    x <- rnorm(100)
    plot(x)
  #Suppress "null device 1" from being printed
  dummy <- dev.off()
  cat(readLines(tf),sep='\n')

@
\caption{caption}
\label{fig:inline}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
