save_plot(filename, fig = ggplot2::last_plot(), width = 12, height = 9, dpi = 300, theme = ggplot2::theme_get(), label.color = "black", label.size = 2.4, axis.textsize = 0.8, axis.titlesize = 0.75, legend.textsize = 0.6, legend.titlesize = 0.65, legend.itemsize = 0.5)

This is a convenient function with some default settings that should
come close to most of the needs for fontsize and scaling in figures
when saving them for printing or publishing. It uses cairographics
anti-aliasing (see png).
