orb_svg: Render a plot as SVG

In orbis: Interactive and High-Resolution Layered Graphics with Built-in World Maps

Render a plot as SVG

Description

Produces a standalone SVG image of a plot. SVG is a vector format, so the result is resolution independent: it stays sharp at any size or zoom level, which is what makes it suitable both for the web and for print.

Usage

orb_svg(plot, width = 820, height = 520, interactive = TRUE, id = NULL)

Arguments

plot	An orb_spec object.
width, height	Size in pixels.
interactive	Embed JavaScript for tooltips, hover highlighting, zoom, pan and legend toggling. Set FALSE for a static image, for example when embedding in a document that forbids scripts.
id	Element id used by the embedded script; generated if NULL.

Value

A character string containing SVG (and, if requested, a wrapping div with the script).

Examples

p <- orb(mtcars, x = wt, y = mpg) + orb_points()
s <- orb_svg(p, interactive = FALSE)
substr(s, 1, 40)
