Dear ÖbersterGrößterMeister,

that is one of the shortcomings of R - report writing. No simple out of the box solution to get some simple report beside redirecting the output of R-scripts to text files (?sink) or creating graphs in graph files and stick them together afterwards by hand :-(.

The situation has changed if you use R-Studio, an IDE (integrated development environment for R programming, together with R markdown.
Quote: "R Markdown is an authoring format that enables easy creation of dynamic documents, presentations, and reports from R. It combines the core syntax of markdown (an easy-to-write plain text format) with embedded R code chunks that are run so their output can be included in the final document. R Markdown documents are fully reproducible (they can be automatically regenerated whenever underlying R code or data changes)."

IMHO the learning curve is nevertheless steep, means that "easy" from the quote is an euphemism for me, so I myself haven't used it up to now. But the description seems promising :cool:.

Here is another entry point, a simple tutorial for R Markdown. If you google you will find many more.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Detlew
