RPweave

Integrated R + Python + LaTeX document system using uv.

Based on an .Rnw (LaTeX Sweave) files.

For more R packages, modify the Makefile's entry setup.

The list of Python packages must be in requirements.txt.

📋 New Paper Workflow

Step 1: Create from Template

# Use this repo as a GitHub template, or duplicate it
git clone <your-rpweave-template> new-paper
cd new-paper

Step 2: Environment Setup

# Create and activate Python environment
uv venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
make setup

# Verify everything works
make test

Step 3: Development Cycle

# Daily work:
# Write your paper with R/Python code
# Write your paper with R/Python code
# Write your paper with R/Python code
# Write your paper with R/Python code
# Write your paper with R/Python code
make view                   # Build and view PDF
# Repeat editing & make view until done

🎯 Perfect Makefile Commands

Here's how to use the Makefile:

make        # See all commands
make setup  # One-time setup
make test   # Verify environments
make view   # Build + open PDF (most used)
make clean  # Clean builds
make quick  # Clean + build + view

📁 Project Structure for New Papers

🚀 Quick Start for Collaborators

git clone <repo>
cd <repo>
uv venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
make setup
make view

💡 Pro Tips for Papers

1. Use make view as your primary command during writing
2. Keep venv active in your terminal session
3. Version control your .Rnw source, not the PDF
4. Use chunks/ for long code sections to keep main.Rnw clean
