I saved my plots as pdf and used pdflatex. It's a few years ago and now you can even use the r-package cowplot to create panels with subfigures. That means more work with r, less manual work.
I believe kable from the knitr package can export tables for latex too. Hope this helps. Ulrik Paul Murrell <[email protected]> schrieb am Do., 4.
