[R] sweave and R. Searching for a document that will get mestarted

[Gabor Grothendieck]

1. Install R, Adobe Reader (or other pdf reader)
and also install MiKTeX. Finally, download this example
Sweave input file:
   http://www.stat.uni-muenchen.de/~leisch/Sweave/example-2.Snw
and do this from the Windows cmd console:

   Rcmd Sweave example-2.Snw
   pdflatex example-2.tex
   example-2.pdf

The above require that the R bin directory and the relevant
MiKTeX directory are in your path.

Alternatively in http://batchfiles.googlecode.com you can find
Sweave.bat which you place anywhere in your path and then just
enter the single line:
Sweave example-2.Snw
This will also automatically find R and MiKTeX in most cases even
if you have not modified your path.

2. For more, read the Sweave User Manual, google for LaTeX tutorials
and for examples, see
- the example in the User Manual, and also
- look at the .Rnw file in any R package with a vignette, e.g. doBy package.
- for latex examples see http://arxiv.org where you can find thousands.

I am happy to do so, but as I do this, I need a source that will tell me how to set up and run Sweave. I don't expect to learn how to set up a LaTeX document from this source, but I would like to know, once a document is created how to get the LaTeX document to interact with Sweave and how I can produce a document that contains the results of my R session complete with graphs and text output.
