I'm suffering the same issue.
Its hard to do anything without a MWE. Based on your log, it appears the problem is due to the lack of installation of the tikz
package. Try tinytex::tlmgr_install(pkgs = "tikz")
The below code returns the same error as @famfigueiredo specified.
library(tikzDevice)
library(tinytex)
library(filehash)
tinytex::tlmgr_install(pkgs = "tikz")
options(tikzDefaultEngine = 'pdftex')
options(tikzDocumentDeclaration = "\\documentclass[11pt]{report}")
tikz(file = "./Analysis/Figures/Imputation cross-validation/CV imputation boxplot.tex", width = 6.28, height = 4)
df <- mtcars
boxImp <- df %>% ggplot(aes(y = disp)) + geom_boxplot()
print(boxImp)
dev.off()
@famfigueiredo The error you quote indicates that tikz.sty
is not installed. This comes with the pgf
TeX Live package. Is that installed? One way to test this is
any("pgf" == tinytex::tl_pkgs(only_installed=TRUE))
If you are using TinyTeX as TeX distribution you can use tinytex::tlmgr_install(pkgs = "pgf")
to install this package.
@rinzebloem The same might apply to you. Do you also get ! LaTeX Error: File
tikz.sty' not found.`?
@rstub I was missing the file grfext.sty
which I've resolved just now by running
tinytex::install_tinytex()
after loading the packages in Rstudio
and
tlmgr install grfext
in the Windows command prompt. Things are running smoothly now. Thanks a lot for the help!
I do not have tinytex and I also have this problem (I am on a Mac).
@bridgeovertroubledhuman Can you post the output of tikzDevice::tikzTest()
, please?
Very recent LaTeX user, and I am trying to export one of my ggplots to LaTeX using tikz. I manage to create the '.tex' file as recommended in all the examples I have been able to find, but once I try to execute my plot command, I get the following error message:
