Plotting wrapper function to plot plots in printable quality and all kinds of formats

Description

Plotting wrapper function to save plots in R as "pdf", "ps", "jpeg", "png", "bmp" or "tiff".

Usage

plotit(
  filename,
  sw = 1,
  sh = 1,
  sres = 1,
  plotsfkt,
  ww = 7,
  wh = 7,
  pointsize = 12,
  dev.pointsize = 8,
  paper = "special",
  quality = 100,
  units = "px",
  bg = "white",
  fileformat = "jpeg",
  saveit = FALSE,
  notinR = FALSE,
  addformat = NULL
)

Arguments

filename

name of the plot to be saved with the format type suffix.

sw

scaling factor of weight.

sh

scaling factor of height.

sres

scaling factor of the resolution.

plotsfkt

list of plots to be plotted.

ww

width of window.

wh

height of window.

pointsize

the default pointsize of plotted text, interpreted as big points (1/72 inch) for plots to be saved.

dev.pointsize

pointsize of plotted text, interpreted as big points (1/72 inch) for display in R.

paper

needed only if filformat = "pdf" or "ps".

quality

needed only if filformat = "jpeg".

units

needed only if filformat = "jpeg", "png", "bmp" or "tiff".

bg

backgroundcolor.

fileformat

save the plot as "pdf", "ps", "jpeg", "png", "bmp" or "tiff".

saveit

should plot be saved.

notinR

should plot be not plotted in R.

addformat

should plot be saved additionally in another format ("pdf", "ps", "jpeg", "png", "bmp" or "tiff").

# choose 'saveit = TRUE' for saving the plot in the specified fileformat #
