dev: Specify where to plot

In PredictiveEcology/quickPlot: A System of Plotting Optimized for Speed and Modularity

Specify where to plot

Description

Switch to an existing plot device, or if not already open, launch a new graphics device based on operating system used. On Windows and macOS, if x is not provided, this will open or switch to the first non-RStudio device, which is much faster than the ‘png’-based RStudio plot device. Currently, this will not open anything new.

Usage

dev(x, ..., verbose = getOption("quickPlot.verbose"))

Arguments

x	The number of a plot device. If missing, will open a new non-RStudio plotting device
...	Additional arguments passed to newPlot().
verbose	Numeric or logical. If TRUE or ⁠>0⁠, then messages will be shown. If FALSE or 0, most messages will be suppressed.

Details

For example, dev(6) switches the active plot device to device 6. If it does not exist, it opens it. If devices 1-5 don't exist they will be opened too.

Value

Opens a new plot device on the screen. Invisibly returns the device number selected.
