Hi

Is it possible to tangle an R code block including the code which is
generating the graphs when using =:results graphics= ?

I would like to tangle these code blocks generating the graphs as I
would like to have a script which I can use to easily update all graphs
when the simulated input data is updated. I have this for the actual
analysis which works perfectly, but would like to have the same for the
graphs. At the same time, I like the clarity of specifying :width and
:height and other parameter for the plotting as header arguments.

I have

,----
| :PROPERTIES:
| :header-args+: :prologue "env <- fitBFGS; attach(env)"
| :header-args+: :epilogue "detach(env); rm(env)"
| :END:
`----

and this is tangled perfectly - but obviously not the code for
plotting. Is there an argument / setting to enable this?

Thanks,

Rainer

That is a very relevant question and I'd be interested in the answer as
well.  But I am not aware of any support by Org mode for this.

I guess calling `org-babel-expand-src-block' prior to tangling would
answer your needs?

This would be desirable not only for plotting code blocks, also data
passed to code block is 'lost' during tangling.

I think it would be good to have a source block header argument, say
`:tangleexpanded', controlling such functionality.

WDYT?

Regards,
Andreas

I don't think so - as this is doing the same as C-c.

The graphics code is only added in the call of org-babel-execute:R so
some refactoring would be necessary. 

In org-babel-execute:R there is the following code:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp 
(full-body
	    (let ((inside
		   (list (org-babel-expand-body:R body params graphics-file))))
	      (mapconcat 'identity
			 (if graphics-file
			     (append
			      (list (org-babel-R-construct-graphics-device-call
				     graphics-file params))
			      inside
			      (list "},error=function(e){plot(x=-1:1, y=-1:1, type='n', xlab='', ylab='', axes=FALSE); text(x=0, y=0, labels=e$message, col='red'); paste('ERROR', e$message, sep=' : ')}); dev.off()"))
			   inside)
			 "\n")))
 #+end_src

If this expansion is moved into org-babel-expand-body:R, it should
work and *always* expand the graphics code (as org-babel-expand-body:R
adds the :epilogue and :prologue).

Then one would just need a new header argument and it should work.

Yes - debugging the whole process of evaluation would also be much easier.

Yes - that would be an ideal solution. But expanded is already used in a
different context (noweb), so something like :tangleaseval would make
sense, making clear that the code is tangled as it would be evaluated.

Unfortunately, I have no time for looking into this at the moment.

But it should be possible without to much hassle.

Thanks,

Rainer
