ggsave {ggbio} | R Documentation

## Save a ggplot object or tracks with sensible defaults

### Description

ggsave is a convenient function for saving a plot. It defaults to saving the last plot that you displayed, and for a default size uses the size of the current graphics device. It also guesses the type of graphics device from the extension. This means the only argument you need to supply is the filename.

### Usage

      ggsave(filename, plot = last_plot(),
        device = default_device(filename), path = NULL,
        scale = 1, width = par("din")[1],
        height = par("din")[2], units = c("in", "cm", "mm"),
        dpi = 300, limitsize = TRUE, ...)

### Arguments

`filename` | file name/filename of plot
`plot` | plot to save, defaults to last plot displayed
`device` | device to use, automatically extract from file name extension
`path` | path to save plot to (if you just want to set path and not filename)
`scale` | scaling factor
`width` | width (defaults to the width of current plotting window)
`height` | height (defaults to the height of current plotting window)
`units` | units for width and height when either one is explicitly specified (in, cm, or mm)
`dpi` | dpi to use for raster graphics
`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 to graphics device

### Details

`ggsave` currently recognises the extensions eps/ps, tex (pictex), pdf, jpeg, tiff, png, bmp, svg and wmf (windows only).
