ggsave2: Cowplot reimplementation of 'ggsave()'.

In cowplot: Streamlined Plot Theme and Plot Annotations for 'ggplot2'

Cowplot reimplementation of ggsave().

Description

This function behaves just like ggplot2::ggsave(). The main difference is that by default it doesn't use the Dingbats font for pdf output. The Dingbats font causes problems with some pdf readers.

Usage

ggsave2(
  filename,
  plot = ggplot2::last_plot(),
  device = NULL,
  path = NULL,
  scale = 1,
  width = NA,
  height = NA,
  units = c("in", "cm", "mm"),
  dpi = 300,
  limitsize = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

filename	Filename of the plot.
plot	Plot to save, defaults to last plot displayed.
device	Device to use, automatically extract from file name extension.
path	Path to save plot to (if you just want to set path and not filename).
scale	Scaling factor.
width	Width (defaults to the width of current plotting window).
height	Height (defaults to the height of current plotting window).
units	Units for width and height when either one is explicitly specified (in, cm, or mm).
dpi	DPI to use for raster graphics.
limitsize	When TRUE (the default), ggsave2() will not save images larger than 50x50 inches, to prevent the common error of specifying dimensions in pixels.
...	Other arguments to be handed to the plot device.
