version downloads

export version 0.2.2 Beta

export is an R package to easily export active R graphs and statistical output in publication quality to Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint and Excel), HTML and Latex.

Features

  • Save active R graphs or ggplot2, lattice or base R plots in publication quality to Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, or various other bitmap or vector formats using a single command with sensible defaults.
  • Fully editable Powerpoint vector format output, enabling manual tidy-up of plot layout.
  • Save the output of statistical analysis in R as tables in Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Latex or HTML documents.
  • Customize formatting of R outputs.

Installation

  • The export package works cross-platform on Windows, Ubuntu & Mac. Some Mac distributions though do not have the cairo device installed by default, and this is required by the export package. This problem is solved if Mac users first install XQuartz, which is available for free from https://www.xquartz.org/.

  • You can report bugs at http://github.com/tomwenseleers/export/issues. If you report a bug, try to send a reproducible example and don't forget to send the result of
