Size of image in xaringan slides

[joonwoob]

I'm creating slides in RMarkdown using xaringan and I'd like to resize local images on my slides.

I have this line of code:

![](workshop-images/clustering.png){width=200px height=200px}

which doesn't change the size

Does anyone know how to properly resize images in a xaringan slide?

I prefer knitr::include_graphics for non-R plots. For rendered plots, I use my chunk options like fig.retina and out.width.

Tips and tricks for working with images and figures in R Markdown documents

@apreshill I'm actually making my slides by referring to your xaringan tutorial slides!

I've set out.width and out.height in the global options chunk and I used knitr::include_graphics
but I can't see my images in my slides, even though I can run the function in my Rmd

knitr::include_graphics("workshop-images/moon.jpg")

Do you know what the problem is?

[apreshill]

Hmm I don't - can you see the images fine with plain old markdown syntax? I typically do just one or the other of those 2 args, out.width on a per-plot-basis usually with fig.retina = 3 as a global. And I'm not sure what you mean re: run the function in your Rmd but can't see in your slides.

Yes, I can see images fine with markdown syntax. But, I can't change the size of the image with markdown syntax, so I'm trying out knitr::include_graphics("workshop-images/moon.jpg")

Here is what I mean by "run the function in your Rmd but can't see in your slides.":

I can run the include_graphics function in my Rmd, but the image doesn't appear in my slides.

OK- weird! A few follow-up questions then:

1. Have you tried showing in a real browser window? Sometimes the RStudio viewer works not well. Click the icon next to the broom.
2. If it is working on local render, I'm wondering whether you have a file path issue- is workshop-images a subfolder within the same directory that tryR-workshop-slides.Rmd is?
3. You don't happen to have eval = FALSE set as a global chunk option in your .Rmd?
4. Are you working in an R project?

If you want to share the repo I'll take a look!

[howardbaek]

1. Yep. A real browser window shows the same thing.
2. Yes, workshop-images is a subfolder in the same directory that my Rmd file is.
3. YES, I DO. I set eval = FALSE as a global chunk...
4. Yes.

Here is my repo:
https://github.com/jasonbaik94/tryR_workshop

The code is in: tryR-workshop-slides.Rmd

I fixed it!

Your #3 point was the reason why the image didn't render.

Also, using out.width and out.height in the global options chunk works too.

Thank you Alison.

If your question's been answered, would you mind choosing a solution? It helps other people see which questions still need help, or find solutions if they have similar problems. Here’s how to do it:

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …

Of course, Christophe

Solution: Change global chunk to eval = TRUE so that R can actually evaluate the code chunk:

knitr::include_graphics("workshop-images/moon.jpg")

Here is another solution that is very useful.
