Examples

sticker function will produce a file with dimension exactly for printing according to http://hexb.in/sticker.html

base plot

library(hexSticker)
sticker(~plot(cars, cex=.5, cex.axis=.5, mgp=c(0,.3,0), xlab="", ylab=""),
        package="hexSticker", p_size=20, s_x=.8, s_y=.6, s_width=1.4, s_height=1.2,
        filename="inst/figures/baseplot.png")

lattice

library(lattice)

counts <- c(18,17,15,20,10,20,25,13,12)
outcome <- gl(3,1,9)
treatment <- gl(3,3)
bwplot <- bwplot(counts ~ outcome | treatment, xlab=NULL, ylab=NULL, cex=.5,
                 scales=list(cex=.5), par.strip.text=list(cex=.5))
sticker(bwplot, package="hexSticker", p_size=20, s_x=1.05, s_y=.8, s_width=2, s_height=1.5,
        h_fill="#f9690e", h_color="#f39c12", filename="inst/figures/lattice.png")

ggplot2

library(ggplot2)

p <- ggplot(aes(x = mpg, y = wt), data = mtcars) + geom_point()
p <- p + theme_void() + theme_transparent()

sticker(p, package="hexSticker", p_size=20, s_x=1, s_y=.75, s_width=1.3, s_height=1,
        filename="inst/figures/ggplot2.png")

image file

imgurl <- system.file("figures/cat.png", package="hexSticker")
sticker(imgurl, package="hexSticker", p_size=20, s_x=1, s_y=.75, s_width=.6,
        filename="inst/figures/imgfile.png")

Google fonts

library(showtext)
## Loading Google fonts (http://www.google.com/fonts)
font_add_google("Gochi Hand", "gochi")
## Automatically use showtext to render text for future devices
showtext_auto()

## use the ggplot2 example
sticker(p, package="hexSticker", p_size=22, s_x=1, s_y=.75, s_width=1.3, s_height=1,
        p_family = "gochi", filename="inst/figures/ggplot2-google-font.png")
