sticker function will produce a file with dimension exactly for printing according to http://hexb.in/sticker.html

base plot

library(hexSticker)
sticker(expression(plot(cars, cex=.5, cex.axis=.5, mgp=c(0,.3,0), xlab="", ylab="")),
        package="hexSticker", p_size=8, s_x=1, s_y=.8, s_width=1.2, s_height=1,
        filename="inst/figures/baseplot.png")

lattice

library(lattice)

counts <- c(18,17,15,20,10,20,25,13,12)
outcome <- gl(3,1,9)
treatment <- gl(3,3)
bwplot <- bwplot(counts ~ outcome | treatment, xlab=NULL, ylab=NULL, cex=.5,
                 scales=list(cex=.5), par.strip.text=list(cex=.5))
sticker(bwplot, package="hexSticker", p_size=8, s_x=1.05, s_y=.75, s_width=2, s_height=1.5,
        h_fill="#f9690e", h_color="#f39c12", filename="inst/figures/lattice.png")

ggplot2

library(ggplot2)

p <- ggplot(aes(x = mpg, y = wt), data = mtcars) + geom_point()
p <- p + theme_void() + theme_transparent()

sticker(p, package="hexSticker", p_size=8, s_x=1, s_y=.75, s_width=1.3, s_height=1,
        filename="inst/figures/ggplot2.png")

image file

imgurl <- "http://www.belleamibengals.com/bengal_cat_2.png"
