# ggview

R-CMD-check

Choose the right picture size for a ggplot without leaving your IDE.

  1. Set picture dimensions with the canvas() element.

  1. Save the plot with save_ggplot().
p <- 
  ggplot(mtcars, aes(wt, mpg)) +
  geom_point() +
  ggtitle("My Plot") +
  canvas(800, 1000, units = "px")

save_ggplot(p, "my_plot.png")

Installation

install.packages("ggview")

# development version
remotes::install_github("idmn/ggview")

VS Code

The package relies on the rstudioapi::viewer() function to display plot previews. By default it does not work in VS Code, but installing the R extension fixes it. It tricks the rstudioapi package into believing it is running in RStudio, and everything works.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
