===Saving Images===

<syntaxhighlight lang="R">
# Save as PDF
ggsave("barchart_example.pdf", plot=plt, width=6, height=4, device="pdf")

For embedding in a latex file, I recommend exporting as PDF. This allows exporting as a vector format with text. 
If you must export as a raster image (jpeg, png), set the dpi flag to get a high-resolution image.
Note that embed fonts requires ghostscript:
<pre>
apt-get install ghostscript -y
</pre>
