[R] R CMD Rd2pdf [options] files

[casperyc]

Hi all,

Sorry if I seem a bit pissed because I am!

Basically, I have written some script and I wanted to make a "documentation"
for it using .Rd format.

############################################################################
I followed the example here in 

http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/utils/html/prompt.html

created the file plot.default.rd in my directory. But then there is the
problem.

Almost EVERYWHERE on the internet it says use 

R CMD Rd2pdf [options] files

[[elided Hotmail spam]]

I have been spending 2 hours search on internet by I still CAN'T get it to
work!

I HAVE READ the PDF file "Writing R Extensions". 

On page 72, section "2.15 Processing Rd format", which is short and USELESS!

Last paragraph says:


tools to build
# packages from source as described in the “R Installation and
Administration” manual,
# although typically all that is needed is a LATEX installation.

I have to admit that I did not read ALL pages of the “R Installation and
Administration” manual. But I really wanted the EXAMPLES to be helpful and
STRAIGHTFORWARD or more DIRECT, which section I should read in “R
Installation and Administration”? What exactly should be done in Windows?

Now back to my question, HOW exactly can I have a PDF file from
"plot.default.rd"?



MiKTeX Portable; Adobe Acrobat; NpptoR installed.

Thanks!

casper
