knitRBootstrap: zoom options, thumbnail size, and plot size

Question

Is it possible to change the default zoom level when using knitRBootstrap?

I know in my knitRbootstrap settings I can change the thumbnail size, but that doesn't allow a lot of flexibility as there is a max value:

knit_bootstrap_md(input=inputFile, output=outputFile, boot_style = 'cerulean',    
    code_style="Google Code", 
    chooser=NULL, thumbsize = 9, show_code=FALSE)

I like the features of knitRbootsrap and prefer it over conventional knitR, but not sure the easiest way to customize image size to allow for certain plots/charts to appear larger

Answer 1

The current github version of knitrBootstrap has a chunk option for the image thumbnail size with bootstrap.thumbnail.size. They correspond to the bootstrap grid options, the default is col-md-6.

The new version is not yet available on CRAN, but you can install it easily with devtools. install.packages('devtools') library(devtools) install_github('jimhester/knitrBootstrap')

Please see the knitrBootstrap github page for full details on all the options and using the new version.
