Is it possible to upload an existing png file from my local server to a sticker? about hexsticker

are you kidding me?

filename="inst/figures/imgfile.png")

there is no inst/figures folder in your current working directory.

1. don't just copy paste without looking at the code.
2. read the error before posting.

To provide further detail to this issue:

When I use the code, similar to the example for 'image file'

imgurl <- system.file("argoFloatsLogo.png", package="hexSticker")
sticker(imgurl, package="hexSticker", p_size=20, s_x=1, s_y=.75, s_width=.6,
        filename="inst/figures/imgfile.png")

I receive the following error:

Error in grDevices::png(..., res = dpi, units = "in") : 
  unable to start png() device
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In grDevices::png(..., res = dpi, units = "in") :
  unable to open file 'inst/figures/imgfile.png' for writing
2: In grDevices::png(..., res = dpi, units = "in") : opening device failed

Thank you for your help!

the command is wrong.

imgurl <- system.file("argoFloatsLogo.png", package="hexSticker")

just use:

imgurl <- remote_url__or__file_path_in_your_system

Hi there,

I tried that as well. When I use the following code:

imgurl <- "C:/Users/harbinj/Documents/GitHub/argoFloats/sandbox/jlh/02_Logo/argoFloatsLogo.png"
sticker(imgurl, package="argoFloats", p_size=20, s_x=1, s_y=.75, s_width=.6,
        filename="inst/figures/imgfile.png")

And I receive the following error:

Error in grDevices::png(..., res = dpi, units = "in") : 
  unable to start png() device
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In grDevices::png(..., res = dpi, units = "in") :
  unable to open file 'inst/figures/imgfile.png' for writing
2: In grDevices::png(..., res = dpi, units = "in") : opening device failed

Thanks again!

Hi there,

My apologies, I relatively new to R and still learning. Thank you for pointing that out, the code now works for me.
