'ggplots' chunk wrapper

Description

This function is used to insert mini gg plots into flextable with functions:

Usage

gg_chunk(value, width = 1, height = 0.2, unit = "in", res = 300)

Arguments

value

gg objects, stored in a list column; or a list of 'ggplot' objects.

width, height

size of the resulting png file.

unit

unit for width and height, one of "in", "cm", "mm".

res

resolution of the png image in ppi

Note

This chunk option requires package officedown in a R Markdown context with Word output format.

PowerPoint cannot mix images and text in a paragraph, images are removed when outputing to PowerPoint format.
