Hello My question might sound awkward, but I am looking for a way to somehow convert a plot in R into a base64 string.
Here's an idea, but it is not at all satisfying. 1. write the plot to the harddisk: --------------------------- png("toto.png") plot(c(1,2,3)) dev.off() --------------------------- 2. somehow reload that file from the disk and transform it into a base64 string: --------------------------- bin<-readBin(file("toto.png","rb"), raw(), n=1000,endian = "little") ... --------------------------- Using the disk to perform this is not elegant, I don't know what value to put for n, and I don't like the general idea. Does anyone have a better suggestion? I have already searched on the internet and in the mailing list, and I just found something on a caTools package containing a base64encode & base64decode function. Thanx for any ideas ...
