# add a slide with layout "Title and Content" then add plot
doc = addSlide( doc, slide.layout = "Title and Content" )
doc = addTitle( doc, "base plot" )

doc = addPlot( doc, fun = plot
		, x = rnorm( 100 )
		, y = rnorm (100 )

			print( qplot(Sepal.Length, Petal.Length, data = iris, color = Species
				, size = Petal.Width, alpha = I(0.7)) )
		}
	)

myplot = qplot(Sepal.Length, Petal.Length, data = iris, color = Species
			, size = Petal.Width, alpha = I(0.7))
doc = addPlot( doc
		, print
		, x = myplot #this argument MUST be named, print is expecting argument 'x'
