![]() ![]() #create an html table with float left/right, whatever.īelow is the resulting directory structure after knitting the Rmd document to HTML. The code below creates 4 directories with 12 plots each resulting in a total of 48 plots. I’m aware you could display plots in a grid format using only R, but the premise of this post is about displaying image files in a table. After generating each plot I save it as a png file. To generate some plots I use the code below. total 8Ĩ 1 tufts staff 205 Aug 31 08:09 ImageTableTemplate.RprojĨ 1 tufts staff 1436 Aug 31 19:29 ImageTableTemplate.Rmd In the doc subdirectory is the Rmd file and an empty directory labeled as figures where I will store the plots I generate. I have the Rproj file and a directory labeled as doc in the main project directory. title : "Image Template" output : html_document : md_extensions : - markdown_in_html_blocks - Create Plots and Save imagesīelow is my base RProject stucture. To learn more about the md_extensions check out this page. This will ensure the tables I create will render correctly and not just as HTML text. I provide a document title, set the output type as html_document, and specify that I don’t want markdown in between my HTML blocks. ![]() You have the option of setting an alternate root directory for knitr to use as well.īelow is the YAML portion of the Rmd file. The example I provide uses a relative path to the Rmd file. Be aware of how knitr deals with file paths.In order to use this HTML the chunk needs to print out the results ‘as is’. results=’asis’ : In the example I’ll go through I’ll be generating HTML code for the table.(Check out this RStudio reference about HTML/Pandoc for more details) To circumvent these issues a markdown extension needs to be specified in the YAML portion of the Rmd document. Pandoc interprets material between HTML block tags as Markdown.HTML in RmarkdownĪ few things to know before getting started: ![]() Instead you may want to take a look at this post by Karl Broman. If you are interested in displaying your plots generated in the Rmd, this approach is overkill. ![]() To clarify: I had a large number of images, not generated in the Rmd, that had to be displayed. I found a few stack overflow posts, but nothing that really addressed this issue, so I wanted to document the template I came up with in a short post. The other day I needed a template to create a table of images in an Rmarkdown document. ![]()
