add figure to title page?

[iantaylor-NOAA]

Problem

Before {sa4ss} PFMC assessment reports typically had an image of the species being assessed on the title page which looked nice and also helped when quickly switching among multiple reports.

I added a figure using the following approach: https://github.com/pfmc-assessments/petrale/blob/main/documents/00title.Rmd but that caused the figure to also appear in the citation and in between the ToC and the Exec Summary (see screenshot of first two pages below).

Proposal

Develop a method to add a figure to the title page (or document an existing approach).

This is obviously a low priority.

@iantaylor-NOAA thanks for the suggestion. Once hake is over I will look. I think that it won't be too hard to add to the template, users would just need to save the figure a certain name and then I will look if a figure is available and bring it in.

That solution sounds perfect. Thank you.

@iantaylor-NOAA feel free to reopen this issue if the instructions on the README do not work for you. You won't have to change any of your .Rmd files. Just reinstall {sa4ss}, change the saved name of your figure and place it in the proper directory, and compile via bookdown::render_book() and it should work.

Worked perfectly, thank you @kellijohnson-NOAA!

Two low priority additions to this issue:

• it might be nice to provide alt-text for a title-page figure (other than "figure_title.png"),
• it could also be good to have a place to provide photo credits if figure_title.png is a photo (typically we use images in the public domain, but still good to provide credit, perhaps right before or after the "Please cite this publication as..." section on the following page).
