\arguments{
\item{p}{a plotly object.}

\item{file}{output filename.}

\item{format}{the output format (png, jpeg, webp, svg, pdf, eps).}

\item{scale}{Sets the image scale. Applies to all output images.}

\item{width}{Sets the image width. If not set, defaults to \code{layout.width} value.
Applies to all output images.}

\item{height}{Sets the image height. If not set, defaults to \code{layout.height} value.
Applies to all output images.}

\item{mathjax}{whether or not to include MathJax (required to render \link{TeX}).
If \code{TRUE}, the PLOTLY_MATHJAX_PATH environment variable must be set and point
to the location of MathJax (this variable is also used to render \link{TeX} in
interactive graphs, see \link{config}).}

\item{parallel_limit}{Sets the limit of parallel tasks run.}

\item{verbose}{Turn on verbose logging on stdout.}

\item{debug}{Starts app in debug mode and turn on verbose logs on stdout.}

\item{safe}{Turns on safe mode: where figures likely to make browser window
hang during image generating are skipped.}

\item{more_args}{additional arguments to pass along to system command. This is useful
for specifying display and/or electron options, such as \code{--enable-webgl} or \code{--disable-gpu}.}

\item{...}{for \code{orca()}, additional arguments passed along to \code{processx::run}. For
\code{orca_serve()}, additional arguments passed along to \code{processx::process}.}

\item{port}{Sets the server's port number.}

\item{request_limit}{Sets a request limit that makes orca exit when reached.}

\item{keep_alive}{Turn on keep alive mode where orca will (try to) relaunch server if process unexpectedly exits.}

\item{window_max_number}{Sets maximum number of browser windows the server can keep open at a given time.}

\item{quiet}{Suppress all logging info.}

This function is deprecated, use \code{\link[=save_image]{save_image()}} instead.

\section{Methods}{


The \code{orca_serve()} function returns an object with two methods:

\describe{
\item{\code{export(p, file = "plot.png", format = tools::file_ext(file), scale = NULL, width = NULL, height = NULL)}}{
Export a static image of a plotly graph. Arguments found here are the same as those found in \code{orca()}
}
\item{\code{close()}}{Close down the orca server and kill the underlying node process.}
}
}

\section{Fields}{


The \code{orca_serve()} function returns an object with two fields:

\describe{
\item{\code{port}}{The port number that the server is listening to.}
\item{\code{process}}{An R6 class for controlling and querying the underlying node process.}
}
}
