figR

Overview

figR eliminates the guesswork of figure layout sizing in scientific journals. It provides a consistent toolset to ensure your ggplot2 graphics meet journal requirements.

• publish_fig() saves plots with precise dimensions based on column widths.
• search_journals() helps you find specific layout rules (Nature, Cell, Science).
• set_journal() allows you to define a global target for your entire script.

These combine naturally to ensure that what you see in R is exactly what appears in the PDF.

Installation

You can install the development version of figR from GitHub with:
