ggsave_quick: ggsave quick

Description

quickly save the current plot with a timestamp

Usage

ggsave_quick(
  name = NULL,
  file_name_extension = "png",
  timestamp = NULL,
  width = 16,
  height = 9
)

Value

the output will be a .png image file in the working directory.

Arguments

name

a character string of the png file name. By default, if no input is given (name = NULL), the file name will begin with "ggplot". If the desired output file name is "myplot.png", enter name = "myplot", timestamp = FALSE

file_name_extension

file name extension (default = "png"). If file_name_extension = "svg", Package svglite needs to be installed.

timestamp

if timestamp = TRUE, a timestamp of the current time will be appended to the file name. The timestamp will be in the format, jan_01_2021_1300_10_000001, where "jan_01_2021" would indicate January 01, 2021; 1300 would indicate 13:00 (i.e., 1 PM); and 10_000001 would indicate 10.000001 seconds after the hour. By default, timestamp will be set as TRUE, if no input is given for the name argument, and as FALSE, if an input is given for the name argument.

width

width of the plot to be saved. This argument will be directly entered as the width argument for the ggsave function within ggplot2 package (default = 16)

height

height of the plot to be saved. This argument will be directly entered as the height argument for the ggsave function within ggplot2 package (default = 9)

Examples
