save_custom_plot: Save A Plot With Custom Theming

In benediktclaus/benelib: Helper Functions for My R Workflow

Save A Plot With Custom Theming

Description

The various ⁠use_*⁠ functions from the benelib are powered by the thematic package. This powerful package makes it possible to use custom Google fonts without worrying about plotting those. However, this comes with a small drawback for saving plots. If one uses ggplot2's ggsave function, text may be rendered too small in raster images. thematic provides a custom function, for which this function is a simple wrapper.

Usage

save_custom_plot(
  filename,
  plot,
  path,
  width = 16,
  height = 16,
  units = "cm",
  dpi = 320
)

Arguments

filename	The plot's desired file name.
plot	A ggplot2 plot.
path	The desired path to which the plot should be saved.
width	Plot width, defaults to 16.
height	Plot height, defaults to 16.
units	Plot dimension unit, defaults to "cm".
dpi	Plot resolution, defaults to 320.

Details

In short: if you use a plot theming function from this package and want to save it as a raster image (JPG, PNG, etc.), use this function to save the plot to a desired location.

Value

Nothing, saves plot to disk.
