highqualgraphR: Publication-grade export of ggplot2 object

In CMET-UGent/CMETNGS: Convenience functions for CMET NGS automated pipeline

Description

This function takes a ggplot2 object and a series of extensions as input to export it to. A high quality graph is generated complying to PLOS ONE author guidelines.

Usage

highqualgraphR(
  x,
  filename,
  res = 1200,
  pointsize = 12,
  embed = FALSE,
  extension = "pdf",
  graphicstype = "cairo",
  colorspace = "cmyk",
  subdirectory = "/figure"
)

Arguments

x	a ggplot2 object.
filename	the filename without an extension.
res	resolution (ppi) of the graph, defaults to 1200
pointsize	font size (pixels), defaults to 12
embed	a logical indicating wether in the font should be embedded in a pdf or eps document. This is done to enhance compatibility with older viewers or when using a non-standard font (see ?embedFonts for details). It requires ghostscript to be installed.
extension	character vector including: "pdf", "png", "tiff", "svg" or "postscript"
graphicstype	passed on to the "type" parameter in bitmap graphics devices (defaults to "cairo", but requires cairo graphics)
colorspace	sets the colorspace. For printing such as in papers the default colorspace should be CMYK but for on-screen viewing srgb may be more desirable. Can also be set to gray to enable greyscale printing. Defaults to CMYK.
subdirectory	a sub-directory to the current working directory where to save the file. If it does not exist, it is created. Defaults to "figure/"
