svgstring

R Documentation

Access current SVG as a string.

This is a variation on svglite that makes it easy to access the current value as a string.

svgstring(width = 10, height = 8, bg = "white", pointsize = 12,
  standalone = TRUE)

`width`	Height and width in inches.
`height`	Height and width in inches.
`bg`	Default background color for the plot (defaults to "white").
`pointsize`	Default point size.
`standalone`	Produce a standalone svg file? If `FALSE`, omits xml header and default namespace.
`...`	Arguments passed on to `svglite`.

A function with no arguments: call the function to get the current value of the string.

s <- svgstring(); s()

plot.new(); s();
text(0.5, 0.5, "Hi!"); s()
dev.off()

s <- svgstring()
plot(rnorm(5), rnorm(5))
s()
dev.off()
