Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Initializes a report plot and opens a device to create it. The type of the device created depends on the parameters create.pdf, low.png and high.png. If create.pdf is TRUE, a PDF device is opened and its contents are later copied to PNG device(s) if needed. Otherwise, a PNG device is opened. Note that at least one of the following conditions must be met:

create.pdf == TRUE
low.png > 0
high.png > 0

1 2	createReportPlot(fname, report = NULL, width = 7, height = 7, create.pdf = TRUE, low.png = 100L, high.png = 0L)

`fname`	`character` vector with one element storing the name of the output file, without the extension. The initialized object appends `.pdf` and/or `.png` to this name.
`report`	Report (object of type `Report`) to which this plot is going to be added. This is used to set the directories for PDF and/or PNG files generated for these plots. If this parameter is `NULL`, the current working directory is used to host all generated images.
`width`	`numeric` storing the width of the device in inches. The length of this vector must be `1`.
`height`	`numeric` storing the height of the device in inches. The length of this vector must be `1`.
`create.pdf`	Flag indicating if a PDF image is to be created. The length of this vector must be `1`.
`low.png`	Resolution, in dots per inch, used for the figure image. Set this to `0` or a negative value to disable the creation of a low resolution image. The length of this vector must be `1`.
`high.png`	Resolution, in dots per inch, used for a dedicated image. Set this to `0` or a negative value to disable the creation of a high resolution image. The length of this vector must be `1`.

In order to ensure independence of the operating system, there are strong restrictions on the name of the file. It can consist of the following symbols only: Latin letters, digits, dot (.), dash (-) and underline (_). The name must not include paths, that is, slash (/) or backslash (\) cannot be used.
