# screenshotr

## Installation

This package is not yet on CRAN. You can install the latest development version from github with:

```R

# install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("ijlyttle/screenshotr")

```

Installing this package should append an addin to your RStudio IDE *Addins* menu. 

You can launch the addin using the *Addins* menu, or you can call the function from the command line:

```R

library("screenshotr")

screenshotr()

```

                   

## Introduction

The goal of this package is to support a **shiny** gadget as an RStudio addin.

This addin will make it easier for you to insert screenshots into your R Markdown documents.

It is imagined that, to use the addin, you would follow these steps:

1. Take the screenshot normally. On Mac, I find cmd-ctrl-shift-4 to be very useful.

1. In RStudio's file-editor pane, place the cursor where you would like to insert your `![]()` code.

1. On the addin, Click the **Paste new** button to paste the image to the addin.

1. Specify the image scaling.

1. Click the **Save as**  button to save the rescaled image to your filesystem. This will paste an embed code into your open document, or copy the embed code to your clipboard.

I imagine this will use the **clipr** package and the **magick** package.
