Custom ggsave wrapper set with Nature's formatting guidelines (width-locked) — save

See: https://www.nature.com/documents/NRJs-guide-to-preparing-final-artwork.pdf It's pretty strict. A one column figure is 88 mm wide and a two column figure is 180 mm wide. Depending on the length of the figure caption, there are different maximum heights (see the PDF). Most figures types must be in vector format to prevent quality loss when zooming in. Ever since I found these guidelines, I use them for all figures, even if they are not for Nature... Because it looks nice and I like it.

  plot,
