#' @title Select PNG Device
#'
#' @description Internal helper to pick the best available PNG graphics
#' device. Uses `ragg::agg_png()` by default, then falls back to a
#' Cairo-backed `grDevices::png()` device when `use_ragg = FALSE`, and
#' finally to the base PNG device.
#'
#' @param use_ragg Default `TRUE`. If `TRUE`, return `ragg::agg_png()`.
#' Set to `FALSE` to skip `ragg`.
#'
#' @keywords internal
#' @importFrom ragg agg_png
