Hello R-users!
< I have tried to use Sweave within LyX* and found two ways to accomplish
this. I have attached LyX source file for both ways as well as generated
PDFs.
I have copied Gregor's files at

>http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~leisch/Sweave/LyX
for those who didn't get the attachments. LyX looks actually much
better and stable then when I last had a look a couple of years ago.
Well, I am satisfied with it, actaully I wrote my graduation thesis in it and it
was much, much more stable than let's say MS Word. course one does not need
to know much about LaTeX.

After registering .Stex as a file format for Sweave I can import .Stex
files using conversion command

>reLyX -f $$i && mv $$i.lyx $$o
and the move is necessary only because reLyX produces foo.Stex.lyx
rather then foo.lyx.
Nice!
Using an Sweave shell script like Gregor's in combination with
"lyx -e latex" might do the trick to have direct conversion to PDF
from the LyX GUI.
Note that this is not the only possible way. As I showed, the other one i.e.
noweb mode in LyX (look in file SweaveNoweb.lyx and its PDF at URL above)
can deal with Sweave in all ways i.e. export or view to any supported formats
by LyX.

The point was actually not so much about .Stex versus .Snw but that
you can integrate all into the LyX GUI: For my import above I get a
menu entry

File->Import->Sweave

in the LyX GUI whhich probably is appealing to GUI-users. The same
could be done by registering .Snw and modifying the noweb import
filter accordingly.

The same should be done for output, such that one can do

File->Export->Sweave+PDF

(or whatever you want to call it) directly from within LyX, rather
then saving & renaming as you suggest under "Compilation".

But I'm too much of an Emacs person to really spend time on such
things but I'll be happy to collect information and integrate it
into the Sweave manual.

Best,
Fritz
