Title: R Graphics as Microplots (Sparklines) in 'LaTeX', 'HTML',
'Excel'

Description: Prepare lists of R graphics files to be used as
microplots (sparklines) in tables in either 'LaTeX',
'HTML', or 'Excel' files.  For 'LaTeX', use the
'Hmisc::latex' function or 'xtable::xtable' function with
'Sweave', 'knitr', 'rmarkdown', or 'Emacs' 'org-mode' to
construct 'latex' tabular environments which include the
graphs.  For 'HTML' files, use either 'Emacs' 'org-mode' or the
'htmlTable::htmlTable' function to construct an 'HTML' file
containing tables which include the graphs.  For 'Excel'
use on 'Windows', the file 'examples/irisExcel.xls' includes 'VBA'
code which brings the individual panels into individual
cells in the spreadsheet.  Examples in the 'examples'
subdirectory and demos are shown with 'lattice' graphics,
'base' graphics, and 'ggplot2' graphics.  Examples for 'LaTeX'
include 'Sweave' (both 'LaTeX'-style and 'Noweb'-style), 'knitr',
'emacs' 'org-mode', and 'rmarkdown' input files and their 'pdf'
output files.  Examples for 'HTML' include 'org-mode' and 'Rmd'
input files and their webarchive 'HTML' output files.  In
addition, the 'as.orgtable' function can display a
'data.frame' in an 'org-mode' document.

Title: Microplots (Sparklines) in 'LaTeX', 'Word', 'HTML', 'Excel'
Description: The microplot() function writes a set of R graphics files to be used as  microplots (sparklines) in tables in either 'LaTeX',  'HTML', 'Word', or 'Excel' files.  For 'LaTeX', use the  'Hmisc::latex' function or 'xtable::xtable' function to  construct 'latex' tabular environments which include the  graphs.  These can be used directly with the operating  system 'pdflatex' or 'latex' command, or by using one of  'Sweave', 'knitr', 'rmarkdown', or 'Emacs' 'org-mode' as  an intermediary.  For 'Word', the MSWord* functions use the 'ReporteRs::FlexTable'  and 'ReporteRs::pot_img' functions to construct 'Word' tables which include the graphs.  There are several distinct approaches for constructing HTML file.  The simplest is to use the MSWord* with argument 'filetype="html"'.  Alternatively, use either 'Emacs'  'org-mode' or the 'htmlTable::htmlTable' function to  construct an 'HTML' file containing tables which include  the graphs.  For 'Excel' use on  'Windows', the file 'examples/irisExcel.xls' includes  'VBA' code which brings the individual panels into  individual cells in the spreadsheet.  Examples in the  'examples' subdirectory and demos are shown with  'lattice' graphics, 'base' graphics, and 'ggplot2'  graphics.  Examples for 'LaTeX' include 'Sweave' (both  'LaTeX'-style and 'Noweb'-style), 'knitr', 'emacs'  'org-mode', and 'rmarkdown' input files and their 'pdf'  output files.  Examples for 'HTML' include 'org-mode' and  'Rmd' input files and their webarchive 'HTML' output  files.  In addition, the 'as.orgtable' function can  display a 'data.frame' in an 'org-mode' document.  The  examples for 'Word' (with either 'filetype="docx"' or 'filetype="html"') work with all operating systems.  The package does not require the installation of 'LaTeX' or 'Word'  to be able to write '.tex' or '.docx' files.
