Scale ggplot2 size to plot size

[cool.abbecker]

Hello,
it is very annoying in R to save a plot with bigger dimensions and everything gets smaller, the font for example (.tif for example).
How can i scale the whole ggplot2 object accordingly? Right now I have to rescale every plotting element (quite a lot).
Thanks!

There is a DPI argument in ggsave() and the other tiff, jpg, png devices. If you adjust this it affects point size, text size and so on. This does affect the final plot quality, so be careful. 

Best thing is the play with it and see what happens when you go up or down in DPI. 

See:

?ggsave

?tiff

I am only allowed a fixed DPI of 300 for publishing.

AFAIK, you'll have to adjust all of the elements using theme and the geom's settings. 

You might want to look around for a publication ready theme to get you started. There are a lot out in the wild.
