df_plot <-
    ggplot(data = df,
           aes(
               x = a,
               y = b
           )) +
    geom_point()

```

ggplot2::ggsave(
    "plot.png",
    plot = df_plot,
    device = "png",
    width = 5,
    height = 5,
    dpi = "screen"
)

# Encode the PNG image as base64.
plot_base64 <- base64enc::base64encode("plot.png")
```

- Create Email 

```{r}
library(glue)

report_name <- Sys.getenv("RSC_REPORT_NAME")
report_url <- Sys.getenv("RSC_REPORT_URL")

message <- glue(paste(h1("data plot"),
                 # Use the filename "plot.png" as the Content ID by using "cid:"
                 # in the image tag's "src" attribute:
                 p(img(src = "cid:plot.png")),
                 '--',
                 p('This {report_name} document is available at {report_url}'),
                 sep = "\n"))

images <- list(plot.png = plot_base64)

rmarkdown::output_metadata$set(rsc_email_body_html = message)
rmarkdown::output_metadata$set(rsc_email_images = images)
