`:results output' will return the autoprinted values. Without tryCatch it 
works.

Here are two blocks that differ in using tryCatch. The first produces an 
empty, malformed pdf. The second produces a valid pdf. If you comment out 
the `invisible()' line in the first, then both will produce similar valid 
pdf's.

#+header: :file nada.pdf
#+header: :results output graphics
#+header: :width 4 :height 3
#+begin_src R
   require(ggplot2)
   df <-
       data.frame(gp = factor(rep(letters[1:3], each = 10)),
                  y = rnorm(30))
   ggplot(df, aes(x = gp, y = y)) + geom_point()
   invisible()
#+end_src


#+BEGIN_SRC R :results output
   require(ggplot2)
   pdf(file="aok.pdf",width=4,height=3)
   df <-
       data.frame(gp = factor(rep(letters[1:3], each = 10)),
                  y = rnorm(30))
   ggplot(df, aes(x = gp, y = y)) + geom_point()
   invisible()
   dev.off()
#+END_SRC
