quick_save_plot: Save and preview a plot

In bschneidr/schneidr: Utilities for data visualization, data wrangling, and mathematical statistics.

Description

Convenience function to quickly save a plot to an image file and immediately inspect it. Based on the function 'ggpreview' by Tristan (TJ) Mahr.

Usage

quick_save_plot(
  plot = ggplot2::last_plot(),
  fname = tempfile(fileext = paste0(".", device)),
  inspect = TRUE,
  device = "png",
  dpi = 320,
  scale = 1,
  ...
)

Arguments

plot	A plot object. If unspecified, uses the most recent printed plot.
fname	A filename for the plot to be saved. Uses a temporary file in the user's temporary folder if unspecified.
inspect	A logical defaulting to 'TRUE' indicating whether to immediately open the file for inspection.
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). Defaults to 'png'.
dpi	Plot resolution. Also accepts a string input: "retina" (320), "print" (300), or "screen" (72). Applies only to raster output types.
scale	Multiplicative scaling factor.
...	Additional arguments passed on to the 'ggsave' function.

Value

Saves a plot to a temporary file in the user's temp directory
