figure size

[Courvoisier13]

When I do a figure using a

> ```{r, fig.pos='H', fig.cap="Text"}
> some ggplot image
> ```

the figure text font is too large when compared to the regular text (fontsize 9). In regular markdown, I can control that in the yaml header, ex:

output: 
  pdf_document:
    fig_height: 5
    fig_width: 6

But pinp does not offer that option. When I set the options:

knitr::opts_chunk$set(fig.width = 6, fig.height = 5)

it just increases the size of the figure and goes out of the column.

Is there a way to set fig_height and fig_width of the document?

thanks

Please see the included demos, and public use cases as eg the Rcpp Intro vignette and please try to not open a new issue every few minutes.

See this pdf as one example for explicitly sized graphs / two-column graphs. The source is here -- we are also plain latex tricks. The file is also a demo of using the bibliographic.

pinp may not be the most beginner-friendly Rmarkdown option as it is somewhat specialised in its focussed look and feel. I hope you find it useful and encourage you to explore -- but keep in mind that not all Rmarkdown tutorials and cheatsheets will apply.

Sorry for the delay but I am out at conference.

ah I see, you create the pdf first then insert it. Ok, thanks.

One of many ways. You can also do the knitr on demand way but check what the code does. This is by design a highly specialised package for (R)Markdown to not every generic howto on rmarkdown or knitr you read may apply here. Eg the defaults are set here

https://github.com/eddelbuettel/pinp/blob/01a98d33c427c1dac1f7cb7487b4b8a00bd1fe16/R/pinp.R#L116-L118

and those are fixed. But knitr lets you set global overrides the usual way. And no, these values are not set-able in the YAML header.

Yes, I ended up doing that. So the way I used to do, is have 2 controls. 1- the size of the pdf (ps) figure produced by say ggplot and 2- the size of the output forced produced by Rmarkdown. If I made the size of 1 large and 2 small, the fonts became smaller automatically, allowing me a lazy way of controlling sizes and fonts in one go. However, by explicitly controlling font sizes in the ggplot theme, and then using opts_chunk$fig.width as you pointed out I get the right results as well.
