How to save an 'AI friendly' plot in R when using ggplot2?












1















When I save a tSNE plot with a large amount of points, I want to convert all the points in the plot to a PNG file while the remainder of the image (axes, labels, all text) remain as vector graphics. How could I do such things?



(I know that the Dimplot function in Seurat package can do this with parameter vector.friendly = TRUE)

  • Not sure if there is a ready tool for this, but we could output plot without axis as png image, then plot blank ggplot, then add saved image to the plot.

    This is what seurat::dimplot is doing, too, see GitHub - L2450 and see AugmentPlot function.

  • Any reason why dimplot is not an option?

  • Thank you, I think that plot ggplot with axis and text and then add a png image might be the best choice. The reason that not to use dimplot is that dimplot only use seurat object as an input, I want to avoid this.
