ggsave_show: Save ggplot-graph and show in folder

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 = NULL, ..., device = NULL, 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,height Plot size in units expressed by the units argument. If not supplied, uses the size of the 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. bg Background colour. If NULL, uses the plot.background fill value from the plot theme. create.dir Whether to create new directories if a non-existing directory is specified in the filename or path (TRUE) or return an error (FALSE, default). If FALSE and run in an interactive session, a prompt will appear asking to create a new directory when necessary.
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). If NULL (default), the device is guessed based on the filename extension.
units	Unit for width and height, if provided. Defaults to "cm", can also be "in" or "mm"
