  dir_to_save = NULL,
  width = NA,
  height = NA,
  format = NULL,
  units = NULL,
  dpi = NULL,
  overwrite = FALSE,
  trim = FALSE
)

object	a ggplot object
filename	a character vector with the name of the file to save. Default is NULL and saves with the name of the object
dir_to_save	a character vector with the name of the directory to save
width	a numerical vector with the width of the figure
