Overview

About

Maintained by Tom WenseleersCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Easily export 'R' graphs and statistical output to 'Microsoft Office' / 'LibreOffice', 'Latex' and 'HTML' Documents, using sensible defaults that result in publication-quality output with simple, straightforward commands. Output to 'Microsoft Office' is in editable 'DrawingML' vector format for graphs, and can use corporate template documents for styling. This enables the production of standardized reports and also allows for manual tidy-up of the layout of 'R' graphs in 'Powerpoint' before final publication. Export of graphs is flexible, and functions enable the currently showing R graph or the currently showing 'R' stats object to be exported, but also allow the graphical or tabular output to be passed as objects. The package relies on package 'officer' for export to 'Office' documents,and output files are also fully compatible with 'LibreOffice'. Base 'R', 'ggplot2' and 'lattice' plots are supported, as well as a wide variety of 'R' stats objects, via wrappers to xtable(), broom::tidy() and stargazer(), including aov(), lm(), glm(), lme(), glmnet() and coxph() as well as matrices and data frames and many more...

Changes in 0.3.3

Bug fixes

Improved graph2ppt() font handling for plotmath/Greek symbols by forwarding font aliases to rvg::dml() and inferring ggplot text families when possible.
Added a raster fallback for graph2office() when showtext_auto() is enabled.
Made graph export size inference work without an active graphics device when a plot object or plotting function is supplied.
Added direct coefficient-table export support for splm and summary.splm objects.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("export", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("tomwenseleers/export")

Development version from tomwenseleers/export. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-export

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-export

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-export

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
