<code>
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[noae,nogin]{Sweave}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}
\SweaveOpts{prefix.string=fig}

Example using \texttt{tikzDevice} with the default \textbf{Sweave}
driver (\texttt{RweaveLatex}).  First define a custom device:

<<results=hide>>=
library(pgfSweave)
tikz.Swd <- function(name, width, height, ...){
    require(tikzDevice)
    tikzDevice::tikz(file = paste(name, "tikz", sep = "."),
                 width = width, height = height)

}
@

Then use the device for plotting, but you have to include the figure manually.

<<myplot, fig=T, grdevice=tikz.Swd, include=F, width=4,height=4>>=
plot(1)
@
\input{fig-myplot.tikz}

\end{document}
