width

for resizing the magick object; must be a value greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1; when not knitting, the width is taken as a fraction of the current graphics device width; when knitting and the image is in png format, the width is taken to be a fraction of the available space; this parameter is ignored when knitting pdf output.

knitting

if TRUE, the context is assumed to be document knit (see default) and the magick object is returned after resizing; if FALSE, then interactive context is assumed and the magick object is returned after resizing according to the current device width.

Value

Depends the context; see details.

Details

This function requires the magick and pdftools packages to be installed.

If you are not knitting an rmarkdown document, then the image is read using magick::image_read_pdf() (pdf files) or magick::image_read() (png files) and resized relative to the width of the current graphics device (see grDevices::dev.size()).

If you are knitting with pdf output, then the image is read in using magick::image_read_pdf() and passed through knitr::include_graphics() without resizing. If you are knitting with html output, then the image is read in using magick::image_read() and resized using magick::image_resize() to a certain fraction of the available space (see width argument).
