1) Read about the changes to the colourspace in 2.13.0.
2) Try R-devel: it has compression for PDF files (or use a compressor
on your final pdf file, e.g. tools::compactPDF).

Dear R-Users,
I am using R for years now but recently I encounter a problem with the
pdf-size of graphics generated with sweave. However, I am new in this
forum.
Hence, please don't hesitate if I am wrong here.
I use a script which runs perfectly in R 2.11.1 and the pdf-size of the
graphs is about 3 KB. Running the same script with R 2.13.1 the file size
increases to 12 KB. I am using about 300 pdf-pictures in my tex-file,
generated by sweave. So this change in file size is dramatic for the
finally
pdf-file.
Has somebody an explanation for this phenomenon?
Sometimes improvements to the device functions may lead to such a phenomenon.
In this case maybe since the plots are actually really small, some overhead
matters.
A minimal reproducible example would help that someone looks into the
details, but I doubt this is too important here. I also doubt this is Sweave
related. Have you tried a minimal example with the pdf() device directly?
Have you read the NEWs about changes since R-2.11.1?
Best,
Uwe Ligges
Thanks a lot for your help.
Erik
Here some more facts:
- I am running a windows system (same problem with linux system)
- This is an example of my code chunk:
<<fig=TRUE,echo=false,width=4,height=0.6>>=
PlotFunctionRef2(daten,daten_ref1,daten_ref2,g=1) //plotting function
