The issue #172 reported the difficulties to use
tikzDevice
in a \LaTeX file using packages needing the-shell-escape
option to {pdf|xe|lua}latex in order to access the filesystem and system commands.This patch request implements a solution to issue #172. it adds an argument
engine_args
similar to the one present in tinytex, with a corresponding global optiontikzEngineArgs
.This patch request passes
R CMD check --as-cran
. I have installed it on R 3.4.4 and 3.5.1.Of note : this is not sufficient to use it transparently for use with
knitr
; in order to use t transparently, you also tave to settinytex.engine_args
to the same-shell-escape
value. I think that this is a bug in the way my system (emacs
) invokes the various compilers, an consider it a different problem.Home this helps...
