Can't control figure size in pdf

When knitting to thesis_pdf, my figures (external png files) are waaaay too large, and setting out.width='100%' or fiddling with the out.extra option doesn't seem to affect figure size.

e.g. (replace apostrophes with backticks),

'''{r ch3-exp1-design, echo=FALSE, out.width='100%'}
include_graphics(path = "figure/ch3/design.png")
'''

'design.png' is this file here: https://github.com/matanmazor/detectionVsDiscrimination_fMRI/blob/master/docs/experimentDesign.png
but it happens with all my figures.

Thanks!!!

Does out.width="20%" or something smaller produce the same result?

matanmazor commented

Yes :(
It also ignores fig.scap="Short caption" for creating the figure list, so I wonder if this is something more general.

ismayc commented

I'm getting this to work with out.width="0.2\\linewidth". Can you confirm?

fig.scap only shows up in the List of Figures text for that image: https://yihui.org/knitr/options/

matanmazor commented

Still not working \:
And fig.scap does not affect the List of Figures too...

I'm unable to reproduce as it is working on the computers I have tried. Can you share a Loom video of what you are seeing? It would also be helpful to share what your sessionInfo() looks like.

I restarted RStudio and now it works! But if I make changes to the size / fig.scape of other figures I need to restart RStudio again for the change to take effect (clear cache doesn't do the trick).

Unfortunately I still can’t reproduce in your environment. I’d suspect it is something beyond thesisdown that is causing issues. I’m going to close this issue but if you find it is a thesisdown issue please reopen.
