Save a sketch plot with a font-aware device — ggsketch_save • ggsketch

A drop-in ggplot2::ggsave() wrapper that picks a device which can see fonts registered with register_sketch_font() / systemfonts:

Usage

ggsketch_save(
  filename,
  plot = ggplot2::last_plot(),
  width = 8,
  height = 5,
  dpi = 300,
  device = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

filename: File to write; the extension picks the device.
plot: Plot to save. Default ggplot2::last_plot().
width, height: Size in inches. Defaults 8 x 5.
dpi: Resolution for raster formats. Default 300.
device: Override the chosen device (a function or name); passed through to ggplot2::ggsave() untouched when supplied.
...: Other arguments passed on to ggplot2::ggsave().

Value

Invisibly, filename.

Details

.png / .jpeg / .jpg / .tiff – ragg when installed (falls back to the ggsave default with a hint).
.svg – svglite when installed.
.pdf – cairo_pdf (embeds registered fonts; the base pdf device does not).
.eps / .ps – cairo_ps, with a warning: PostScript cannot embed handwriting faces reliably, so prefer PDF.
