    Outputting to SVG Vector Files

    Problem

    You want to create a scalable vector graphics (SVG) image of your plot.

    Solution

    SVG files can be created and used in much the same way as PDF files:

    svg("myplot.svg", width=4, height=4)
plot(...)
dev.off()

# With ggsave()
ggsave("myplot.svg", width=8, height=8, units="cm")

    Discussion

    When it comes to importing images, some programs may handle SVG files better than PDFs, and vice versa. For example, web browsers tend to have better SVG support, while document-creation programs like LaTeX tend to have better PDF support.
