When using JupyterLab, there is a command %config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'svg' that displays plots as svg. The quality is awesome. I would like to ask if there is a similar command for Rnotebook, i.e.
Display plots inside Rnotebook as svg.
Display plots in the output html as svg.
For every code chunk that you want to produce svg output, you simply set the dev = 'svg' chunk option. Or you can set this option globally with knitr::opts_chunk$set(dev = 'svg') at the beginning of your markdown document.
Save the following as a .Rmd file, knit, and see what you get.
---
title: "Untitled"
output: html_document
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(dev = 'svg') # set output device to svg
```
A simple plot, as svg file:
```{r}
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, disp, color = hp)) +
geom_point() +
scale_color_viridis_c()
```
