This seems more a LaTeX problem than an R problem. But can you provide us (an 
sample example of) the LaTeX code the yields the overfull box.

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than 
asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the 
experiment died of.

Onderwerp: RE: [R] using Sweave, how to save a plot in a given size


After few corrections, it does work. But I have several plots to include in my 
document and, because of those commands, they're all on the same line even if 
there are 20 plots. I mean that Latex doesn't car about textwidth anymore and I 
get an overfull box (too wide).
What could I do to correct that ?
Thanks.
