imguR: imguR Graphics Device

In imguR: Share plots using the imgur.com image hosting service

Description

imguR starts a device driver (wrapped around pdf) which automatically uploads plots to the free image hosting service imgur.com

Usage

imguR(title = NULL, caption = NULL, name = NULL, ...)

Arguments

title	Image title passed to the imguR API
caption	Image title passed to the imguR API
name	Image title passed to the imguR API
...	Additional arguments passed to pdf

Details

This package is a wrapper for the pdf function. A temporary file is created by pdf, acting as normal graphical device. After plotting, when dev.off is called, the file is closed, uploaded to imguR and a URL of the files location is returned. In the case of multipaged pdfs being uploaded, imguR automatically concatenates them into a single image.

Value

imguR is invoked for its side effect and returns nothing
