When I try to use the new-ish ragg::agg_png() device with ggplot2::ggsave(), the image does not appear to save correctly.
Take the following reprex. I make a simple plot and then save it using the agg_png() function directly, and with ggsave(). The image saved with the agg_png() device directly comes out as expected. However, when I use ggsave(), it's almost like the units are being ignored. You can't tell, but there is a tiny image beneath the final code output. In that output, we can see that the image is only 7x7 px, even though inches have been specified by the units. From this blog post, it doesn't seem like anything extra should be required to make ggsave() work beyond setting device = agg_png.
Are there additional parameters I need to specify? Including session info in case there is something system-specific going on.
library(ggplot2)
library(magick)
library(ragg)
p <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = mpg, y = disp)) +
geom_point()
# save plot --------------------------------------------------------------------
agg_png(filename = "agg_png.png", width = 7, height = 7, units = "in",
res = 320)
print(p)
dev.off()
ggsave("agg_png-ggsave.png", plot = p, device = agg_png, width = 7, height = 7,
units = "in", dpi = 320)
# look at images ---------------------------------------------------------------
dev <- image_read("agg_png.png")
print(dev)

ggs <- image_read("agg_png-ggsave.png")
