[Tikzdevice-bugs] tikz & pgfSweave queries

[baptiste auguie]

Dear Charlie and Cameron,

I'm enjoying your packages tikzDevice and pgfSweave, which I intend to
use for my package vignettes. I have a short list of queries / buglets
for which I'd like your opinion (in no particular order),

- the linewidth is incorrect with tikz (see example attached). Is this
a known issue?

- pgfSweave provides access to the highlight package (great, thanks!),
however I couldn't find a way to use the boxes option to surround the
code in a frame. Did I miss the option?

- I use a hack inspired from Rcpp to generate the vignettes during R
CMD BUILD with pgfSweave, essentially having a fake vignette for
Sweave and a makefile to copy files, etc. Do you know if the situation
might improve? I vaguely recall a discussion on R-devel where members
of R-core weren't against the idea of allowing different engines to
process the vignettes, but I don't know if steps have been taken
towards this.


Best regards,

baptiste
