I want to insert a picture at the beginning of text using a code block, not markdown. I am using the Tufte handout template output: rmarkdown::tufte_handout and when I insert it straight after the YAML header but before TOC like this:
\centering  \raggedright \tableofcontents \clearpage the image then spans the main body. I know that with chunks there is an option to have the chunk to span the whole page placing fig.fullwidth = TRUE in the chunk header, but I am a bit stuck with this as I am not generating any graph from data and I do not know how to simpy place an image from within a chunk.
Another matter was that when I set toc: true in the YAML header, the image would only come after the inserted toc - that is why I am inserting toc with the latex command.
Thank you for your suggestions.

To insert an image, you can also use an R code chunk. --- title: "R Markdown Tips and Tricks" output: html_document --- You can also insert an image using R code: ```{r} knitr::include_graphics("img/rmarkdown_hex. png") ``` The image looks smaller by default though.
To add an image in markdown you must stop text editing, and you do this with the command [Alt text] precedeed by a ! Then you have to add the path to the image in brackets. The path to the image is the path from your directory to the image.
To add a picture to a plot in base R, we first need to read the picture in the appropriate format and then rasterImage function can be used. The most commonly used format for picture in R is PNG. A picture in PNG format can be added to a plot by supplying the values in the plot where we want to add the picture.
You can embed an R code chunk like this: ```{r} summary(cars) ``` You can also embed plots, for example: ```{r, echo=FALSE} plot(cars) ``` Note that the `echo = FALSE` parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.
When a figure is not generated from R code, you may use knitr::include_graphics() to insert it to the document, e.g.
```{r echo=FALSE, out.width='100%'} knitr::include_graphics('./cropped-banner_efpt.jpg') ``` If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
