ggsave

Save a ggplot (or other grid object) with sensible defaults (ggtern version)

Description

ggsave() is a convenient function for saving a plot. It defaults to saving the last plot that you displayed, using the size of the current graphics device. It also guesses the type of graphics device from the extension.

Usage

ggsave(filename, plot = last_plot(), device = NULL, path = NULL,
  scale = 1, width = NA, height = NA, units = c("in", "cm", "mm"),
  dpi = 300, limitsize = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

`filename`	File name to create on disk.
`plot`	Plot to save, defaults to last plot displayed.
`device`	Device to use (function or any of the recognized extensions, e.g. `"pdf"`). By default, extracted from filename extension. `ggsave` currently recognises eps/ps, tex (pictex), pdf, jpeg, tiff, png, bmp, svg and wmf (windows only).
`path`	Path to save plot to (combined with filename).
`scale`	Multiplicative scaling factor.
`width, height`	Plot dimensions, defaults to size of current graphics device.
`units`	Units for width and height when specified explicitly (in, cm, or mm)
`dpi`	Resolution used for raster outputs.
`limitsize`	When `TRUE` (the default), `ggsave` will not save images larger than 50x50 inches, to prevent the common error of specifying dimensions in pixels.
`...`	Other arguments passed on to graphics device
