Aloha Thomas,

Thanks a bunch.  I always use pgfSweave and thus I haven't really
managed to move from Rnw (LaTeX + R files) to Org file.

Are you aware of the very handy pgfsweave bin?  In the Arch R package it
is located in

 /usr/lib/R/bin/pgfsweave

First, you don't have to load tikzDevice. Second, It makes this very
nice notation valid in Rnw files:

#+begin_src latex
\begin{figure}[tbh]
\caption{Time series $x$ and $y$}\label{fig:ts1}
<<ts3xy-plot, echo=3DFALSE, fig=3DT, tikz=3DT, external=3DT, cache=3DF, ech=
o=3DF, width=3D7, height=3D3, sanitize=3DT>>=3D
plot(x.ts)
lines(y.ts)
#abline(lm(y.fil~x.fil))
@
\end{figure}
#+end_latex

which translates to the following automatically:
#+begin_src latex
\begin{figure}[tbh]
\caption{Time series $x$ and $y$}\label{fig:ts1}
\tikzsetnextfilename{class3-ts3xy-plot}
\tikzexternalfiledependsonfile{class3-ts3xy-plot}{class3-ts3xy-plot.tikz}
\input{class3-ts3xy-plot.tikz}
\end{figure}
#+end_src

It also adds nice formatting of R chucks without the need other R
packages.

Thus, using pgfSweave over regular Sweave is just wonderful.  However, I
don't know whether it can integrate with Babel.

Thanks again.
