myPDF: Custom PDF function

In JECheadle/RSOC317L: Data Sets and Supplemental Functions from David Diez's 'OpenIntro' Textbook

Description

A similar function to pdf and png, except that different defaults are provided, including for the plotting parameters.

Usage

myPDF(fileName, width = 5, height = 3,
      mar = c(3.9, 3.9, 1, 1), 
      mgp = c(2.8, 0.55, 0),
      las = 1, tcl=-0.3, ...)

myPNG(fileName, width = 600, height = 400,
      mar = c(3.9, 3.9, 1, 1), 
      mgp = c(2.8, 0.55, 0),
      las = 1, tcl=-0.3, ...)

Arguments

fileName	File name for the image to be output. The name should end in .pdf.
width	The width of the image file (inches). Default: 5.
height	The height of the image file (inches). Default: 3.
mar	Plotting margins. To change, input a numerical vector of length 4.
mgp	Margin graphing parameters. To change, input a numerical vector of length 3. The first argument specifies where x and y labels are placed; the second specifies the axis labels are placed; and the third specifies how far to pull the entire axis from the plot.
