installed from githib and it worked! Really appreciate your help, and 
look forward to discover this very nice package!!

Thanks

install.packages() and got following error:
install.packages( 'tikzDevice',
+ repos='http://r-forge.r-project.net' )
Installing package(s) into ‘/home/mat/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.12’
