Plot using preview instead of plotting to X device

Description

uses ggsave to save a ggplot object to file and then opens a new device and displays it.

Usage

ggpreview(
  plot = ggplot2::last_plot(),
  filename = tempfile(fileext = ".png"),
  ...
)

Arguments

plot	Plot to save, defaults to last plot displayed.
filename	File name to create on disk.
...	Arguments passed on to ggplot2::ggsave 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). If NULL (default), the device is guessed based on the filename extension. path Path of the directory to save plot to: path and filename are combined to create the fully qualified file name. Defaults to the working directory. scale Multiplicative scaling factor. width,height Plot size in units expressed by the units argument. If not supplied, uses the size of the current graphics device. units One of the following units in which the width and height arguments are expressed: "in", "cm", "mm" or "px". dpi Plot resolution. Also accepts a string input: "retina" (320), "print" (300), or "screen" (72). Applies only to raster output types. limitsize When TRUE (the default), ggsave() will not save images larger than 50x50 inches, to prevent the common error of specifying dimensions in pixels. bg Background colour. If NULL, uses the plot.background fill value from the plot theme. create.dir Whether to create new directories if a non-existing directory is specified in the filename or path (TRUE) or return an error (FALSE, default). If FALSE and run in an interactive session, a prompt will appear asking to create a new directory when necessary.
