Source: R/maidr.R
save_html.Rd

Save a ggplot2 or Base R plot as a standalone HTML file with interactive MAIDR accessibility features.

Usage

save_html(plot = NULL, file = "plot.html", use_cdn = NULL, ...)

Arguments

plot

A ggplot2 object or NULL for Base R auto-detection

file

File path where to save the HTML file (e.g., "plot.html")

use_cdn

Logical. Controls where MAIDR.js is loaded from:

  • TRUE: Use CDN (requires internet)

  • FALSE: Use local bundled files (works offline)

  • NULL (default): Auto-detect based on internet availability

...

Additional arguments passed to internal functions

Value

The file path where the HTML was saved (invisibly)

Examples

# ggplot2 bar chart
library(ggplot2)
p <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = factor(cyl), y = mpg)) +
  geom_bar(stat = "identity")
# \donttest{
maidr::save_html(p, tempfile(fileext = ".html"))
# }

# ggplot2 violin plot
p_violin <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = factor(cyl), y = mpg)) +
  geom_violin(fill = "lightblue", alpha = 0.7) +
  labs(title = "MPG by Cylinders", x = "Cylinders", y = "MPG")
# \donttest{
maidr::save_html(p_violin, tempfile(fileext = ".html"))
# }

# Base R example (requires interactive session for function patching)
if (interactive()) {
  barplot(c(10, 20, 30), names.arg = c("A", "B", "C"))
  maidr::save_html(file = tempfile(fileext = ".html"))
}
