Image sizing inconsistency with knitr github_document
's with inline code chunks
#310
Comments
After digging a bit deeper this seems like a knitr bug - inline code chunks have the same label as the proceeding chunk so the behavior I am seeing is because inline chunk is overwritting Maybe this is intended but it seems like |
I have commented in the other issue but writing here the main why I think this happens. Lines 117 to 131 in 56f746b
If this method is used in inline chunk, the current process will be the same (it could be different by catching We would need to think about supporting creation of fig.path in inline chunk, or the knit_print method here needs to create the filename another way (possibly only when use in inline chunk). Nice investigation @rundel ! That helped a lot ! thanks. |
@jeroen Any thoughts? |
What could I do about this on my end? It sounds like an issue in knitr? |
See the discussion in yihui/knitr#1988 (comment) - the current assumption (which I had also made) was that inline chunks behave the same way as regular chunks which is not the case. Longer term I hope this will be changed in knitr but in the shorter term it seems like magick may need to check for the chunk type and use an alternative naming approach for images coming from inline chunks. |
OK. Can you suggest a PR for that? I also wonder if it makes much sense to show images in inline chunks in the frist place? Do people really use that? |
I ran across this because I was trying to do exactly this with a package rundel/rsicons which Mine and I were planning to use to embed things like the Git button icons in Rmds for teaching purposes. The original plan was to use <img> tags but that doesn't generalize as well (e.g. to pdf). I think there are similar use cases around things like font awesome. I'm happy to take a stab at a PR and let things progress from there. |
I think it is not as usual to show image in inline code and that is why knitr mechanism for auto naming file from figures created by R does not support it currently. This is not a small change in knitr and we'll need to think about it. Also, for now packages that needs to this (mainly icon packages it seems) does not rely on internal knitr naming mechanism like magick does. fontawesome package is an example and for HTML it uses inline svg, for other format it will save an image but name the file itself. So the knit_print method there take that into account https://github.com/rstudio/fontawesome/blob/b6a916199ffe34aac2507d770327467d525dc6cf/R/knit_print.R#L44 rsicons package could also do like fontawesome and have an internal knit_print methods for its object to handle inline case correctly. On magick side, Hope the above can help to solve this with the current state of knitr |
I'm seeing some fairly bizarre behavior when trying to output magick images in a
github_document
. Below is a reprex to demonstrate the issue.When knit the Rmd produces a document where the first tiger image is blurred as the base64enc image is only 32x32 and being scaled back up to 128x128.
If the inline code chunk is removed the first image displays properly at 128x128 - more bizarrely if
image_read_svg('http://jeroen.github.io/images/tiger.svg', width = 32)
is included in the chunk before the 128x128 image then all three images will be correctly sized but this is not the case if this line is included in a different chunk.Varying the size of this proceeding image also has some strange behavior, making it smaller than 32x32 everything appears to work but the resulting image is actually intrinsically 32x32 but being shrunk to the smaller size. If this image is bigger, then the original issue occurs for this image but now the 2nd 128x128 image is fine.
I believe similar behavior is also happening with
html_document
s but I haven't explored it as much and it is a bit confounded by thefig.retina
option. If the underlying issue actually is with knitr, I'm happy to move this over there.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
