I found a function here to create a ppt with a slide for a plot created in R.
Here is the link to that function: R: Function to export currently active R plot to Powerpoint/Word/LibreOffice
I would like my program to add several slide (containing one plot each).
I currently use : export2ppt(file="plot.pptx")
But I can't figure out how I add a second plot to the same file .
Try for example
library(ReporteRs)
doc =pptx( ) # create pptx
doc=addSlide(doc,"Title and Content") # add slide
doc<-addTitle(doc,"first") # add title
fun_1<-function(){
plot(mpg ~ wt, data = mtcars)
}
doc <- addPlot(doc, fun= fun_1,vector.graphic =FALSE ) # add plot
doc=addSlide(doc,"Title and Content") # add slide
doc<-addTitle(doc,"Second") # add title
fun_2<-function(){
plot(mpg ~ cyl, data = mtcars)
}
doc <- addPlot(doc, fun= fun_2,vector.graphic =FALSE ) # add plot
writeDoc(doc, "r-2.pptx" )
The answer below is outdated, as ReporteRs
has been removed from CRAN and is superseded by officer
. I just made a new package export
built on top of officer
that easily allows one to export several graphs to a single Powerpoint presentation using the graph2ppt()
command and the append=TRUE
option, e.g. to produce a presentation with 2 slides :
install.packages("export")
library(export)
library(ggplot2)
qplot(Sepal.Length, Petal.Length, data = iris, color = Species,
size = Petal.Width, alpha = I(0.7))
graph2ppt(file="plots.pptx", width=6, height=5)
qplot(Sepal.Width, Petal.Length, data = iris, color = Species,
size = Petal.Width, alpha = I(0.7))
graph2ppt(file="plots.pptx", width=6, height=5, append=TRUE)
eoffice may be another choice. with the command below:
install.packages("eoffice")
topptx(file="plots.pptx", width=6, height=5,append=T)
