pngpdf: A plot wrapper function.

In SooLee/plotosaurus: Plotosaurus

Description

This function generates both png and pdf files for a given plot function.

Usage

pngpdf(plot.func, fprefix, width = 7, height = 7, pointsize = 12,
  add.date = TRUE, skip.png = FALSE, nplots = 1, png.res = 600,
  display.only = FALSE)

Arguments

plot.func	Any plotting function.
fprefix	The output png and pdf file path prefix. The file names will be fprefix.date.png and fprefix.date.pdf (date: eg.20150331)
width	The width of the png and pdf file in inches. Defaults to 7.
height	The height of the png and pdf file in inches. Defaults to 7.
pointsize	The pointsize of the png and pdf files.
add.date	If this is true, the output file names will be fprefix.date.png and fprefix.date.pdf (date: eg.20150331). If this is false, they will be fprefix.png and fprefix.pdf. Defaults to TRUE.
skip.png	If this is true, only pdf file will be generated. Defaults to FALSE.
nplots	The number of plots to be included in one page of the png file, stacked vertically. This is useful when producing a multi-page pdf file, since png does not support multi-page plotting. Each plot in the pdf and png files will not look exactly the same, so it is generally recommended to produce a single-page pdf and png. If nplots is larger than 6, it may not be able to generate a png file. In that case, try lowering png.res (resolution). Defaults to 1.
png.res	The resolution of png. Defaults to 600.
display.only	If TRUE, display the plot on the screen, and not produce png or pdf.

Value

the returned value from plot.func will be returned.

Examples

pngpdf(function(){
  plot(1:10,1:10,type="o",pch=19,col=3)
},"myplot")
