7 years ago I think so. Today I have used tikz in several contexts not involving tikzDevice. For instance, running
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node (a) at (0,0) {a};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}with knitr works fine, but running
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
<<b1, dev='tikz'>>=
plot(1,1)
@
\end{document}sends back a very long error message similar to the one I posted above. Other MikTeX packages crucial in this context and that I should check?

7 years ago I had the same issue. I solved it by something I don't know why it solved it. However, I did the following:
I edited the file 'tikzStringWidthCalc.tex'. From your output above that file is in 'C:\Users\Timothee\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmp0iTYF6' (from the last few lines). The file contains something like:
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage[active,tightpage,psfixbb]{preview}
\PreviewEnvironment{pgfpicture}
\setlength\PreviewBorder{0pt}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\batchmode
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node[inner sep=0pt, outer sep=0pt, scale=1] (TeX) { m};
\path let \p1 = ($(TeX.east) - (TeX.west)$),
\n1 = {veclen(\x1,\y1)} in (TeX.east) -- (TeX.west)
node{ \typeout{tikzTeXWidth=\n1} };
\makeatletter
\@@endI just replaced the last two lines ( latex \makeatletter and \@@end) by
\end{document}
\end{tikzpicture}Then I compiled the document. Then Miktex installs some missing packages. Afterward, TikzDevice works fine again. Although it also actual replaces the modified document with the original again (I think). I presume the issue is about the packages that get installed? (Unfortunately didn't remember which)

7 years ago Hi,
I have the same error.
Measuring dimensions of: \char73
Error in getMetricsFromLatex(TeXMetrics, verbose = verbose) :
TeX was unable to calculate metrics for:
73
Common reasons for failure include:
* The string contains a character which is special to LaTeX unless
escaped properly, such as % or $.
* The string makes use of LaTeX commands provided by a package and
the tikzDevice was not told to load the package.
The TeX and log files used for the calculation can help diagnose the
problem. If these files are missing, rerun the plot and make sure to
keep the R session open.

7 years ago I had the same issue and could fix it by manually editing tikzStringWidthCalc.tex, as recommended in this comment by @gsteinbu . Only the two lines need to be reversed:
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}After compiling this document, MikTeX installs some missing packages and then tikzDevice works. This is really surprising, because I updated MikTeX manually just before.

7 years ago I had the same issue with texlive. I fix it by installing the full distribution : sudo apt-get install texlive-full

6 years ago Thanks for your input. The new tikzTest() function will now test-compile a complete LaTeX document,
essentially applying @gsteinbu's workaround, which should allow MikTeX to install anything that's missing.

6 years ago Still having the same problem, even with the latest version of tikzDevice (0.10-3, installed from Github just now). Running tikzTest() and tikzTest("m") has no effect.
However, manually compiling the temporary TEX file installs a missing package* and this solved the issue.
Environment: Windows 10, MikTeX.
* Unfortunately, I clicked on "Install" faster than I could read the package name. Bad habit …

5 years ago I had this problem while using tinytex. tikzTest() and tikzTest("m") did not help. I just solved it with:
tinytex::tlmgr_install(c("pgf", "preview", "ms", "graphics", "pdftex-def", "oberdiek", "ec", "xcolor", "fontspec", "xunicode"))These are just all packages listed in the Vignette but thought some people might be intrested...

This no longer works anymore on TL2020. Still a headache.

This is very similar to issue #114, but nothing written there works for me. Maybe you can fix that or have idea of what is wrong on my laptop. I was using tikzDevice without problems until today when I updated MikTeX to the latest version. Now it does not work anymore and always complain about not being able to calculate metrics. So, entering this code
gives me in the R console

I tried uninstalling / reinstalling tikzDevice from the CRAN, and also from GitHub using
Thanks!
