Hi, Thanks for this and my appologies for taking so long to get back to you.
I was so frustrated with my LyX/apa6/biblatex problems that I just stopped even trying to get it to work and got on with other things. I made the simple height to fig.height, etc change and it seems to work just fine now. My lack of LaTeX knowledge plus my inability to actually comprehend much of the knitr/Sweave material due to lack of experiencc with them is sometimes maddening. How do I set fig.height and fig.width in cm? It appears to me that the default is inches? Thanks again. ________________________________ From: Yihui Xie <x...@yihui.name> To: John Kane <jrkrid...@yahoo.ca> Cc: Lyx List <lyx-users@lists.lyx.org>; René Mayer <murakamicatpo...@gmx.de> Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2013 1:30:35 PM Subject: Re: kitr problem after R update. Please see the NEWS for knitr 1.0 (now 1.0.5): https://github.com/yihui/knitr/blob/master/NEWS.md#changes-in-knitr-version-10 Sweave2knitr() is a function in knitr instead of an executable in your Ubuntu system: http://yihui.name/knitr/demo/sweave/ In your case, the chunk options "height=4cm, width=4cm" are invalid; please read the documentation for chunk options: http://yihui.name/knitr/options On one hand, there are no options called height and width (only fig.height/fig.width or out.height/out.width); on the other, 4cm is not a valid R object. To René Mayer: you also had problems after upgrading knitr, but you did not show me examples, so I have to guess - maybe you had some non-ASCII characters in your document, and knitr 1.0 added encoding support; I have submitted a patch to LyX accordingly: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8504 For now, you can download the new lyxknitr.R from https://raw.github.com/yihui/lyx/master/scripts/lyxknitr.R and put it under ~/lyx/scripts/. After LyX 2.0.6 is out, you will not need it.
