Title Body

The task is to create a file (word, rtf, pdf, html, or whatever) that will capture the output of R (e.g: not the code that created the output), into that format (including text and images). The way of doing this should involve as little change to the original R script as possible. If I had cared only for the text or images, then I would use ?sink, or ?pdf. But I don't know how to combine the two into one output in an easy way. I know there is a way to export R output using r2wd , but it involves too much medaling in the original code for my taste (I imagine the same is true for the sweave solution, although I don't have experience with it to tell) Here is a sample code for future examples: START.text.and.image.recording("output.file") # this is the function I am looking for x <- rnorm(100) y <- jitter(x) print(summary(x)) print(head(data.frame(x,y))) cor(x,y) plot(x,y) print(summary(lm(y~x))) STOP.text.and.image.recording("output.file") # this is the function I am looking for Update : I was asked way not Sweave, or other options from ReproducibleResearch task view . The reasons are: I don't (yet) know LaTeX Even knowing LaTeX, I want something with simple defaults to simply dump all the outputs together, and in order. "simply" means - as little extra code/file management overhead as possible. I understand that something like sweave or brew are more scalable, but I am looking to see if there is a more "simple" solution for smaller projects/scripts.
