[R] Sweave - landscape figure

[Duncan Mackay]

Hi Eduardo

in the preamble put

\usepackage[figureright]{rotating}

see manual for figureright if you do not like it

and then some graphics with options where needed

\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=,%
                  clip=true,%
                  trim=0in 0in 0in 0in,% LBRT
                  keepaspectratio=true]%
                  {filename}
\end{sidewaysfigure}

otherwise \usepackage landscape (check spelling) for a full page
