RCy3 (version 1.2.0)

saveImage: saveImage

Description

Write an image of the specified type to the specified file, at the specified scaling factor. Note: the file is written to the file system of the computer upon which R is running, not Cytoscape -- in those cases where they are different. It is saved to the working directory.

Usage

saveImage(obj, file.name, image.type, scale)

Arguments

obj

a CytoscapeWindowClass object.

file.name

a char object. Use an explicit, full path, or this file will be written into your home directory.

image.type

a char object. 'jpg' is the only image type currently supported

scale

a numeric object. How large (or small) to scale the image.

Value

None.
