\usage{
pictex(file = "Rplots.tex", width = 5, height = 4, debug = FALSE,
       bg = "white", fg = "black")
}
\arguments{
  \item{file}{the file where output will appear.}
  \item{width}{The width of the plot in inches.}
  \item{height}{the height of the plot in inches.}
  \item{debug}{should debugging information be printed.}
  \item{bg}{the background color for the plot.}

}
\description{
  This function produces graphics suitable for inclusion in TeX and
  LaTeX documents.
}

  This driver does not have any font metric information, so the use of
  \code{\link{plotmath}} is not supported.

  Multiple plots will be placed as separate environments in the output file.
