This function will open your plot in a new window with the aspect ratio of the chart type selected

check_chart_aspect_ratio(object = ggplot2::last_plot(), type = "normal")

Arguments

object

The ggplot2 graph object to be saved. Defaults to last_plot(), which will save the last plot that was displayed in your session.

type

Sets height and width to Grattan defaults. The following chart types are available:

  • "normal" The default. Use for normal Grattan report charts, or to paste into a 4:3 Powerpoint slide. Width: 22.2cm, height: 14.5cm.

  • "normal_169" Useful for pasting into a 16:9 format Grattan Powerpoint slide. Width: 30cm, height: 14.5cm.

  • "tiny" Fills the width of a column in a Grattan report, but is shorter than usual. Width: 22.2cm, height: 11.1cm.

  • "wholecolumn" Takes up a whole column in a Grattan report. Width: 22.2cm, height: 22.2cm.

  • "fullpage" Fills a whole page of a Grattan report. Width: 44.3cm, height: 22.2cm.

  • "fullslide A 16:9 Grattan Powerpoint slide, complete with logo. Use this to drop into standard presentations. Width: 33.9cm, height: 19.0cm

  • "blog""Creates a 4:3 image that looks like a Grattan Powerpoint slide, but with less border whitespace than `fullslide`."

Set type = "all" to save your chart in all available sizes or use `grattan_save_all()`.
