Resizing images in RMarkdown

Question

I\'m trying to convert a R markdown .Rmd document to .pdf. Unfortunately, the images are too large. Is there any way to change the size of the image?

Answer 1

Use this at the beginning of a chunk:

Decimals assigned to fig.height and fig.width are interpreted as inches. Other units of measure also allowed if explicit.

```{r, echo=FALSE, fig.height=2.7, fig.width=9}
#your R code here
```
