Cool! But I couldn't find the saveLatex() function in the latest version under R-Forge... : Anything wrong?
By the way, is it more suitable to use "saveLaTeX()" instead of "saveLatex()"?

Yes, you are thinking about the same problem as I did. The reason I used saveLatex is that I find R uses toLatex. Actually I rarely write LaTeX as Latex. 😁

The source package is on CRAN now. I have not tried R-Forge yet, but I guess the Windows binary package should be on CRAN within one day.

Cool!
I just realized that you posted different poster here than those of your chinese blog. So, I have one more blog to visit now!

I finally tested your codes and succcessfully redraw the sample you provided in this poster. Now I would like to present a dataset of hourly temperature during two months. The idea is to make an animation of the dynamic temperature fluctuation according the hour of a day and the day of a month. I image the code will be more or less like your latest presentation on the data of "HuSpeech". Then is my question. I would like to know how could we insert the final animation into ppt file? (Please note that I am not familar with LaTex.)
Thank you for your help in advance!

You do not need to know anything about LaTeX to insert animations into PowerPoint slides. This blog entry will not help you either, but you have several other choices, e.g. GIF or Flash, either of which can be inserted into PPT slides. (Flash examples: http://yihui.name/cv/images/See_animation_Yihui.pps; GIF example: http://yihui.name/cv/images/Statistical_Animations_Using_R_Yihui_useR_2008.ppt)

To produce GIF or Flash animations, see ?saveMovie and ?saveSWF respectively.

As for your first question, the function moving.block() should be of help. See the examples in ?moving.block.
