I love using TeXShop for GUI editing of LaTeX and particularly Sweave documents, but it is a pain not being able to get it to automatically generate the pdf output. Luckily I found this post which explains how to add a Sweave engine.Want to share your content on R-bloggers? click here if you have a blog, or here if you don't.
Basically, make a file called Sweave.engine in
~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/texbin:/usr/local/bin
R CMD Sweave "$1"
pdflatex -interaction batchmode "${1%.*}"
pdflatex -interaction batchmode "${1%.*}"
The just select Sweave as the document type and Typeset now works, easy.
