This function produces graphics compliant to the current w3 svg XML standard. The driver output is currently NOT specifying a DOCTYPE DTD.

The file where output will appear.
Height and width in inches.
Default background color for the plot (defaults to "white").
Default point size.
Produce a standalone svg file? If FALSE
, omits
xml header and default namespace.
Consider using
systemfonts::register_font()
instead. Named list of font
names to be aliased with fonts installed on your system. If unspecified,
the R default families sans
, serif
, mono
and
symbol
are aliased to the family returned by
font_info()
.
Consider using
systemfonts::register_font()
instead. Named list of fonts to
be aliased with font files provided by the user rather than fonts properly
installed on the system. The aliases can be fonts from the fontquiver
package, strings containing a path to a font file, or a list containing
name
and file
elements with name
indicating
the font alias in the SVG output and file
the path to a
font file.
A list containing web fonts to use in the SVG. The fonts
will still need to be available locally on the computer running the code,
but viewers of the final SVG will not need the font if specified as a web
font. Web fonts can either be specified using font_face()
or given as a
single string in which case they are taken to be URL's for an @import
directive to e.g. Google Fonts.
A character vector of ids to assign to the generated SVG's. If creating more SVG files than supplied ids the exceeding SVG's will not have an id tag and a warning will be thrown.
Should the width of strings be fixed so that it doesn't
change between svg renderers depending on their font rendering? Defaults to
TRUE
. If TRUE
each string will have the textLength
CSS property set
to the width calculated by systemfonts and
lengthAdjust='spacingAndGlyphs'
. Setting this to FALSE
can be
beneficial for heavy post-processing that may change content or style of
strings, but may lead to inconsistencies between strings and graphic
elements that depend on the dimensions of the string (e.g. label borders
and background).
A scaling factor to apply to the rendered line width and text size. Useful for getting the right sizing at the dimension that you need.
Should the svgfile be a valid svg file while it is being
written to? Setting this to TRUE
will incur a considerable performance
hit (>50% additional rendering time) so this should only be set to TRUE
if the file is being parsed while it is still being written to.
Identical to filename
. Provided for backward compatibility.

svglite provides two ways of controlling fonts: system fonts
aliases and user fonts aliases. Supplying a font alias has two
effects. First it determines the font-family
property of all
text anchors in the SVG output. Secondly, the font is used to
determine the dimensions of graphical elements and has thus an
influence on the overall aspect of the plots. This means that for
optimal display, the font must be available on both the computer
used to create the svg, and the computer used to render the
svg. See the fonts
vignette for more information.
