Where should I save my images?
Drop images you want to include on your site into the existing img folder within your R Project (or make your own folder for images, set up a subfolder structure, etc.) - as long as you can easily point to them within your project.
How do I make images show up on my site?
There are a bunch of ways to add images in an R Markdown document (see more examples from the R Markdown Cookbook here).
I recommend using knitr::include_graphics("path_to_image").
For example, if there is an image saved as cool_dogs.jpg in the img folder, then you can add this to your R Markdown document by adding (within a code chunk):
```{r, echo = FALSE}
knitr::include_graphics("img/cool_dogs.jpg")
```You can also update the size of the image, add a caption, etc. by updating the code chunk header, e.g.:
```{r, echo = FALSE, out.width = "50%", fig.cap = "Some cool dogs!"}
knitr::include_graphics("img/cool_dogs.jpg")
```For example, the image usgs_sat.jpeg is in the img folder of this template. I can have it show up here by include a code chunk that looks like this:
```{r, echo = FALSE, out.width = "80%", fig.cap = "USGS image of Mississippi River."}
knitr::include_graphics("img/usgs_sat.jpeg")
```Which creates:
Figure 1: USGS image of Mississippi River.
