  Description     : GNU R graphics output in LaTeX format
 This GNU R package provides a graphics output device for R that records
 plots in a LaTeX-friendly format. The device transforms plotting
 commands issued by R functions into LaTeX code blocks. When included in
 a LaTeX document, these blocks are interpreted with the help of 'TikZ'—a
 graphics package for TeX and friends written by Till Tantau. Using the
 'tikzDevice', the text of R plots can contain LaTeX commands such as
 mathematical formula. The device also allows arbitrary LaTeX code to be
 inserted into the output stream.

Remark: This package is needed to run the unit test of some R packages
maintained by Debian Med and Debian Science team.  It will be maintained
at
