Arguments

code	code use to produce the figure you want
filename	name of the file to write

Examples

# encode the code in the curly braces into its corresponding plot
path <- tempfile(fileext = ".png")
figasaur({plot(sample(100))}, path)

# extract the information
cat(decode(path))
#> {
#>     plot(sample(100))
#> }
