Save ggplot-graph and show in folder

Description

This wraps ggsave and opens the folder where the graph was saved in a Shell. From there, it can easily be dragged and dropped into the application where you want to use it. It also changes the default units from in to cm, and defaults to saving temporary png files.

Usage

ggsave_show(
  filename = tempfile("0_plot", fileext = ".png"),
  ...,
  device = "png",
  units = "cm"
)

Arguments

filename	File name with path. If not provided, only a temporary file is saved
...	Arguments passed on to ggplot2::ggsave plot Plot to save, defaults to last plot displayed. path Path of the directory to save plot to: path and filename are combined to create the fully qualified file name. Defaults to the working directory. scale Multiplicative scaling factor. width Plot size in units ("in", "cm", or "mm"). If not supplied, uses the size of current graphics device. height Plot size in units ("in", "cm", or "mm"). If not supplied, uses the size of current graphics device. dpi Plot resolution. Also accepts a string input: "retina" (320), "print" (300), or "screen" (72). Applies only to raster output types. limitsize When TRUE (the default), ggsave will not save images larger than 50x50 inches, to prevent the common error of specifying dimensions in pixels.
device	Device to use. Can either be a device function (e.g. png()), or one of "eps", "ps", "tex" (pictex), "pdf", "jpeg", "tiff", "png", "bmp", "svg" or "wmf" (windows only).
units	Unit for width and height, if provided. Defaults to "cm", can also be "in" or "mm"
