The script pull_plots.R copies plots from the chapter folders into a new folder called output. We made it to work on the {bookdown} directory for our book Data Science in Education Using R. It might also work on other {bookdown} directories.
This function copies plots from the bookdown directory and stores them in a folder called output.
The function assumes the default {bookdown} file structure, where
- plots are stored in a folder called
figure-html figure-htmlfolders are stored in chapter folders- chapter folders are stored in a folder called
_bookdown_files
The code chunks that produce the plots should be individually named. Code chunks with the same name will overwrite each other in the output folder.
Arguments:
ch_file: the name of the chapter folder in the {bookdown} directory that contains the figure-html folder. Needs to be in quotes.
