How to generate a pdf or svg file?

[Sven-Winter]

Hi,

I managed to generate html and png plots. However, I always receive the following error:

Error in htmlwidgets::saveWidget(as.widget(gply), file = paste0(opt$output_filename, : Saving a widget with selfcontained = TRUE requires pandoc. For details see: https://github.com/rstudio/rmarkdown/blob/master/PANDOC.md

I installed pandoc but the error remains.

Is there a way to generate a SVG file? Would be nice to save a SVG directly from the interactive plot instead of only png.

Thanks!

According to my experience, I found that as long as I modify the PNG parameter in the corresponding R script is SVG or PDF. @Sven-Winter
