# Example: tikzDevice - TikZ output from R

Published 2009-08-02 | Author: Cameron Bracken

An example of output from the R package tikzDevice . R plotting command are output at a very low level as TikZ commands. tikzDevice combines the computational power of R with the graphical beauty of and font consistancy of TikZ. For details please see the vignette available with the package, available here.

The following R code was used to generate the first plot:

#Load the tikzDevice package, if you dont have it, install with:
#  install.packages("tikzDevice", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
require(tikzDevice)

# The following wwill create normal.tex in the working
# directory the first time this is run it may take a long time because the
# process of calulating string widths for proper placement is
# computationally intensive, the results will get cached for the current R
# session or will get permenantly cached if you set
# options( tikzMetricsDictionary='/path/to/dictionary' ) which will be
# created if it does not exist.  Also if the flag standAlone is not set to
# TRUE then a file is created which can be included with \include{}
tikz('normal.tex', standAlone = TRUE, width=5, height=5)

# Normal distribution curve
x <- seq(-4.5,4.5,length.out=100)
y <- dnorm(x)

# Integration points
xi <- seq(-2,2,length.out=30)
yi <- dnorm(xi)

# plot the curve
plot(x,y,type='l',col='blue',ylab='$p(x)$',xlab='$x$')
# plot the panels
lines(xi,yi,type='s')
lines(range(xi),c(0,0))
lines(xi,yi,type='h')

title(main="$p(x)=\\frac{1}{\\sqrt{2\\pi}}e^{-\\frac{x^2}{2}}$")
int <- integrate(dnorm,min(xi),max(xi),subdivisions=length(xi))
text(2.8, 0.3, paste("\\small$\\displaystyle\\int_{", min(xi), "}^{", max(xi), "}p(x)dx\\approx", round(int[['value']],3), '$', sep=''))

#Close the device
dev.off()

# Compile the tex file
tools::texi2dvi('normal.tex',pdf=T)

# optionally view it:
# system(paste(getOption('pdfviewer'),'normal.pdf'))

• #1 Sam Clifford, August 3, 2009 at 5:42 a.m.

Thanks for this. I've been thinking about putting something together to take objects in R and write LaTeX files to plot in TikZ. I don't think Sweave/Rweave is a particularly elegant solution and there could be much more done to improve things for statisticians who use LaTeX.

Ultimately, I want to be able to plot my GAMs with TikZ because I hate the way PostScript handles text.

• #2 Cameron Bracken, August 4, 2009 at 2:46 a.m.

Glad you like it! We hope that tikzDevice will inspire R users to be more conscious about their graphics, especially those with lots of text.

We have some big ideas for improving Sweave cooking up. They will most likely be incorporated into pgfSweave at some point.

• #3 Tadeusz Wasiutyński, August 4, 2009 at 4:25 p.m.

My version of tikz accepts /node [rotate = integer] rather than float

• #4 Cameron Bracken, August 4, 2009 at 8:31 p.m.

Which version are you using? We strongly suggest using version 2.00, which is what we test with.

• #5 Julien, March 25, 2010 at 3:02 p.m.

I would just like to thank you for that very nice work; enjoying simultaneously tiKz and R is awesome.

• #6 Lorenzo Isella, April 26, 2010 at 11:48 a.m.

Great example! I have adapted it to add latex notation to the axis in a plot generated via ggplot2. However, I cannot tune the size of the axis labels. Any workaround for that?

• #7 Patrick Schalk, June 27, 2010 at 9:24 p.m.

I'd like to thank you for this package. It is exactly what I have been looking for. I had produced a few flowcharts for my thesis using TikZ, and started wishing that all the plots I generated in R looked as consistent. Now tikzDevice is my output of choice. Keep up the great work!

• #8 MrZ, December 5, 2012 at 7:19 a.m.

That's a s**t load of code for something that I believe could be achieved in far less.

Havn't got the time right now, but for those who are interested, try ggplot2 + R + knitr, killer combo.
