cyt_export: Generic export function for Cytokine plots

In CytoProfile: Cytokine Profiling Analysis Tool

Generic export function for Cytokine plots

Description

The purpose of this helper is to save a collection of plots generated throughout the CytoProfile package to a user specified format. It is designed to handle objects created with ggplot2 (or other grid based plots), recorded base plots (see grDevices::recordPlot()), or custom drawing functions stored as closures. If a multi-page PDF is requested, all plots are written into a single file; for raster formats (PNG, JPEG and TIFF), each element of the plot list is saved to its own file with a numbered suffix. Nothing is returned except invisibly.

Usage

cyt_export(
  plots,
  filename = "cyto_output",
  format = c("pdf", "png", "jpeg", "tiff", "svg"),
  width = 7,
  height = 5,
  dpi = 300,
  which = NULL
)

Arguments

plots	A single plot object or a list of plots. Each element may be a ggplot/grid object, a recordedplot, or a function with no arguments that when invoked produces the plot.
filename	Base file name (without extension). The appropriate extension is added automatically depending on format. A full path can be supplied to save into a particular directory. When saving raster formats the file names will include an index (e.g. "myplot_001.png").
format	Character string giving the desired output format. One of "pdf", "png", "jpeg" or "tiff". Partial matching is performed. The default is "pdf".
width, height	Width and height of the device in inches. These arguments are passed directly to the graphics device.
dpi	Resolution in dots per inch used for raster formats (ignored for PDF).
which	Optional character vector naming the subset of plots to save. If provided, only the named plots are exported; otherwise all elements are saved in the order they appear.

Examples

# Example usage within CytoProfile:
# res <- cyt_splsda(...)
# cyt_export(res$plots, filename = "splsda", format = "png")
