You can also pass in a function that returns the width/height in pixels or \code{'auto'}; in the body of the function you may reference reactive values and functions. When rendering an inline plot, you must provide numeric values (in pixels) to both \code{width} and \code{height}.} \item{res}{Resolution of resulting plot, in pixels per inch. This value is passed to \code{\link[grDevices]{png}}. Note that this affects the resolution of PNG rendering in R; it won't change the actual ppi of the browser.} \item{...}{Arguments to be passed through to \code{\link[grDevices]{png}}. These can be used to set the width, height, background color, etc.} \item{env}{The environment in which to evaluate \code{expr}.} \item{quoted}{Is \code{expr} a quoted expression (with \code{quote()})? This is useful if you want to save an expression in a variable.} \item{execOnResize}{If \code{FALSE} (the default), then when a plot is resized, Shiny will \emph{replay} the plot drawing commands with \code{\link[grDevices]{replayPlot}()} instead of re-executing \code{expr}. This can result in faster plot redrawing, but there may be rare cases where it is undesirable. If you encounter problems when resizing a plot, you can have Shiny re-execute the code on resize by setting this to \code{TRUE}.} \item{outputArgs}{A list of arguments to be passed through to the implicit call to \code{\link{plotOutput}} when \code{renderPlot} is used in an interactive R Markdown document.} } \description{ Renders a reactive plot that is suitable for assigning to an \code{output} slot. } \details{ The corresponding HTML output tag should be \code{div} or \code{img} and have the CSS class name \code{shiny-plot-output}. } \section{Interactive plots}{ With ggplot2 graphics, the code in \code{renderPlot} should return a ggplot object; if instead the code prints the ggplot2 object with something like \code{print(p)}, then the coordinates for interactive graphics will not be properly scaled to the data space. See \code{\link{plotOutput}} for more information about interactive plots. } \seealso{ For the corresponding client-side output function, and example usage, see \code{\link{plotOutput}}. For more details on how the plots are generated, and how to control the output, see \code{\link{plotPNG}}. }
