Save a figure at journal sizes

A wrapper around ggplot2::ggsave() with journal column widths, a white background and 300 dpi by default. Works for ggplot and patchwork objects.

Usage

plot_save(
  plot,
  filename,
  size = c("single", "onehalf", "double"),
  width = NULL,
  height = NULL,
  units = c("mm", "cm", "in", "px"),
  dpi = 300,
  ...
)

Arguments

plot

A ggplot or patchwork object.

filename

File name; the extension sets the format (.png, .pdf, .tiff, .svg, ...).

size

"single" (85 mm wide), "onehalf" (120 mm) or "double" (175 mm) column width. Ignored if width is given.

width, height

Size in units. height defaults to 0.8 x width.

units

Units for width and height ("mm", "cm", "in", or "px").

dpi

Resolution for raster formats (default 300).

...

Passed to ggplot2::ggsave().

Value

filename, invisibly.

Examples

r <- div_rarefy(png_ants, q = 0, .by = season, knots = 20)
f <- tempfile(fileext = ".png")
plot_save(ggplot2::autoplot(r), f, size = "single")
