Create a Report with a Figure
RTF and PDF also support plots produced with the ggplot2 package. Use the create_plot() function to create plot content for a report. The plot can be added to the report with the add_content() function, just like tables and text.
library(reporter)
library(ggplot2)
# Create temporary path
tmp <- file.path(tempdir(), "example10.pdf")
# Prepare data
dat <- mtcars[order(mtcars$cyl), ]
# Generate plot
p <- ggplot(dat, aes(x=disp, y=mpg)) + geom_point()
# Define plot object
plt <- create_plot(p, height = 4, width = 8) %>%
titles("Figure 1.0", "MTCARS Mileage By Displacement", blank_row = "none") %>%
footnotes("* Motor Trend, 1974")
# Add plot to report
rpt <- create_report(tmp, output_type = "PDF") %>%
set_margins(top = 1, bottom = 1) %>%
options_fixed(font_size = 12) %>%
page_header("Sponsor", "Study: cars") %>%
add_content(plt) %>%
page_footer(Sys.time(), "Confidential", "Page [pg] of [tpg]")
# Write out report
if (rmarkdown::pandoc_available("1.12.3")) {
res <- write_report(rpt)
}
# View report
# file.show(tmp)
