Check that your chart looks alright in the different chart formats

This function will open your plot in a new window with the aspect ratio of the chart type selected. For fullslide chart types (fullslide, fullslide_narrow, fullslide_half), this will show the complete slide with the grey header, Grattan logo, and properly positioned title/subtitle/caption.

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