I often want to get a graphics window that is the same size as one that I
resized by hand
(because it was quicker than setting the width and height directly in dev.new)
and have sometimes resorted to using a ruler on my screen or just resize
matching.
I came up with the following function that does what I want
dev.clone <- function(){
if(is.null(dev.list())) stop("No active graphics window!")
dev.size() |>
as.list() |>
setNames(c("width", 'height')) |>
do.call(dev.new, args = _ )
invisible(dev.size())
}
I thought that I might be able to leverage the new %||% operator but
wasn't able to get the logic to work out as I wanted.
I haven't found another function to do this. dev.copy doesn't keep
the dimensions of the previous plot, but maybe there is a more
concise and direct way to achieve this that has escaped me.
If anyone knows?
Thanks.
best,
Ken
