dsvg

SVG Graphics Driver

Description

This function produces SVG files (compliant to the current w3 svg XML standard) where elements can be made interactive.

In order to generate the output, used fonts must be available on the computer used to create the svg, used fonts must also be available on the computer used to render the svg.

Usage

dsvg(
  file = "Rplots.svg",
  width = 6,
  height = 6,
  bg = "white",
  pointsize = 12,
  standalone = TRUE,
  setdims = TRUE,
  canvas_id = "svg_1",
  fonts = list()
)

Arguments

file

the file where output will appear.
height, width

Height and width in inches.
bg

Default background color for the plot (defaults to "white").
pointsize

default point size.
standalone

Produce a stand alone svg file? If FALSE, omits xml header and default namespace.
setdims

If TRUE (the default), the svg node will have attributes width & height set
canvas_id

svg id within HTML page.
fonts

Named list of font names to be aliased with fonts installed on your system. If unspecified, the R default families "sans", "serif", "mono" and "symbol" are aliased to the family returned by match_family().

If fonts are available, the default mapping will use these values:

R family Font on Windows Font on Unix Font on Mac OS
sans Arial DejaVu Sans Helvetica
serif Times New Roman DejaVu serif Times
mono Courier DejaVu mono Courier
symbol Symbol DejaVu Sans Symbol

As an example, using fonts = list(sans = "Roboto") would make the default font "Roboto" as many ggplot theme are using theme_minimal(base_family="") or theme_minimal(base_family="sans").

You can also use theme_minimal(base_family="Roboto").
