#' Plot Output
#'
#' Renders a reactive plot that is suitable for assigning to an \code{output}
#' slot.
#'
#' The corresponding HTML output tag should be \code{div} or \code{img} and have
#' the CSS class name \code{shiny-plot-output}.
#'
#' @section Interactive plots:
#'
#' With ggplot2 graphics, the code in \code{renderPlot} should return a ggplot
#' object; if instead the code prints the ggplot2 object with something like
#' \code{print(p)}, then the coordinates for interactive graphics will not be
#' properly scaled to the data space.
#'
#' See \code{\link{plotOutput}} for more information about interactive plots.
#'
#' @seealso For the corresponding client-side output function, and example
#' usage, see \code{\link{plotOutput}}. For more details on how the plots are
#' generated, and how to control the output, see \code{\link{plotPNG}}.
#'
#' @param expr An expression that generates a plot.
#' @param width,height The width/height of the rendered plot, in pixels; or
#' \code{'auto'} to use the \code{offsetWidth}/\code{offsetHeight} of the HTML
#' element that is bound to this plot. You can also pass in a function that
#' returns the width/height in pixels or \code{'auto'}; in the body of the
#' function you may reference reactive values and functions. When rendering an
#' inline plot, you must provide numeric values (in pixels) to both
#' \code{width} and \code{height}.
#' @param res Resolution of resulting plot, in pixels per inch. This value is
#' passed to \code{\link{png}}. Note that this affects the resolution of PNG
#' rendering in R; it won't change the actual ppi of the browser.
#' @param ... Arguments to be passed through to \code{\link[grDevices]{png}}.
#' These can be used to set the width, height, background color, etc.
#' @param env The environment in which to evaluate \code{expr}.
#' @param quoted Is \code{expr} a quoted expression (with \code{quote()})? This
#' is useful if you want to save an expression in a variable.
#' @param execOnResize If \code{FALSE} (the default), then when a plot is
#' resized, Shiny will \emph{replay} the plot drawing commands with
#' \code{\link[grDevices]{replayPlot}()} instead of re-executing \code{expr}.
#' This can result in faster plot redrawing, but there may be rare cases where
#' it is undesirable. If you encounter problems when resizing a plot, you can
#' have Shiny re-execute the code on resize by setting this to \code{TRUE}.
#' @param outputArgs A list of arguments to be passed through to the implicit
#' call to \code{\link{plotOutput}} when \code{renderPlot} is used in an
#' interactive R Markdown document.
#' @export
