ggsave() with width only

Yes Jeff, you are right. I hate manually editing figures too, but sometimes I find it's still the easiest way (e.g. when you submit your paper several times when journals have differing guidelines, or when you build figures from several (sub)plots + other images, or when you combine plots that a colleague has done in Python with your R plots). I have the impression that at some point, there is always something to edit by hand, no matter how much you've adjusted the graphical parameters and even if you use all possible tools available for ggplot2... I have thought a lot about it and, as it is, I am not sure it would be worth the effort. I might be missing some arguments for it, but I would actually like someone to show me how it could look like - this might just be what I need to be convinced!
It's not much effort. For example, the document below produces two PDF
figures with different heights but the same width. I called the
document Untitled.Rmd, so the figures show up in
Untitled_figures/figure-latex/fig1-1.pdf and
Untitled_figures/figure-latex/fig2-1.pdf.
