Re: [R] ggsave() with width only
Dear Adam,
This would work indeed, but then the default aspect ratio (1.618) would
be used. I could as well calculate the height from the width and aspect
ratio. Unfortunately, this doesn't help me in my case (but as I said, I
have found a workaround).
Thank you again.
Ivan

Dear Ivan,
I think you don't need to provide the aspect ratio, as this should
work as well:
save_plot("/tmp/plot.png", p, base_width = 5, base_height = NULL)

The function cowplot::save_plot() actually doesn't help in my case

knew the aspect ratio, I could calculate the height from the width or
vice-versa, and then I could use ggplot2::ggsave().
I have found a workaround using the package patchwork: I put the plots
together into one plot, that I save on an A4 page.

Dear useRs,
I produce several independent ggplot2 plots and I would like to save
them to a fixed width (for publications), but the height (and therefore
aspect ratio) is different from plot to plot.
How can I save my plots with ggsave() supplying only a fixed width but
without knowing the height nor the aspect ratio? If I specify the width
only, the plots are truncated in width because the aspect ratio is not
correct.
Thank you for the tip!

It's not much effort. For example, the document below produces two PDF

Untitled_figures/figure-latex/fig1-1.pdf and
Untitled_figures/figure-latex/fig2-1.pdf.
