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

There is a simple way to resize Images and still being able to add Captions. Use the following syntax within your RMarkdown code and place the Image's Caption beneath the Image:

\begin{figure}
\centerline{\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{your_image_name.png}}
\caption{Entitäten zur Persistierung der Special Notifications}
\end{figure}

To scale the image just adapt the width-value from 0.5 to some other percentage-value fitting your needs.

If you don't want to center the images, just remove the \centerline - Command with it's opening and closing brackets {}.
