R Documentation

A unified R graphics backend.

Description

This function initializes a unigd graphics device.

Usage

ugd(
  width = getOption("unigd.width", 720),
  height = getOption("unigd.height", 576),
  bg = getOption("unigd.bg", "white"),
  pointsize = getOption("unigd.pointsize", 12),
  system_fonts = getOption("unigd.system_fonts", list()),
  user_fonts = getOption("unigd.user_fonts", list()),
  reset_par = getOption("unigd.reset_par", FALSE)
)

Arguments

`width`	Graphics device width (pixels).
`height`	Graphics device height (pixels).
`bg`	Background color.
`pointsize`	Graphics device point size.
`system_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 `systemfonts::font_info()`.
`user_fonts`	Named list of fonts to be aliased with font files provided by the user rather than fonts properly installed on the system. The aliases can be fonts from the fontquiver package, strings containing a path to a font file, or a list containing `name` and `file` elements with `name` indicating the font alias in the SVG output and `file` the path to a font file.
`reset_par`	If set to `TRUE`, global graphics parameters will be saved on device start and reset every time `ugd_clear()` is called (see `graphics::par()`).

Details

All font settings and descriptions are adopted from the excellent 'svglite' package.

Value

No return value, called to initialize graphics device.

Examples

ugd() # Initialize graphics device

# Plot something
x <- seq(0, 3 * pi, by = 0.1)
plot(x, sin(x), type = "l")

# Render plot as SVG
ugd_render(width = 600, height = 400, as = "svg")

dev.off() # alternatively: ugd_close()
