Export draw() plots to files.

Export draw() plots to files.

Usage

drawToFile(
  plot,
  filename = "humdrumR_draw.png",
  overwrite = FALSE,
  width = NULL,
  height = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

plot

A plot object (created by draw()).

filename

What filename to draw to?

Must be a single character string.

The filename string must end with a file extension: either .bmp, .jpg (or .jpeg), .pdf, .png, .svg, or .tiff. This determines what format is used.

overwrite

Whether to overwrite files without asking for permission.

Defaults to FALSE.

If TRUE, drawToFile() will overwrite files without asking for permission. Otherwise, it will ask for keyboard confirmation before overwriting.

width, height

Width and height of plot in output file.

Must be single character string or numeric values, or may be NULL

If a character string, the string must begin with a number followed immediately by a valid unit abbreviation—either mm (millimeters), cm (centimeters), in (inches) or px (pixels). If numeric, the unit is taken to be inches.

If NULL, sizes are selected based on plot itself.
