i'm new knitr, rmarkdown , pandoc, , having trouble figuring out set options. i'd have figure width wider 6 inches. in default word doc margins, seems there @ least 6.5 inches available, , there's more if willing reduce margins. however, when try set fig.width in chunk creates word doc, graphs never more 6 inches wide. instead changes aspect ratio. is there option somewhere overriding fig.width? can change in reference docx? here's example .rmd. --- title: "graph size test" output: word_document --- # test 1 looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong string ```{r, echo = false, fig.width = 6, fig.height = 5} df <- data.frame(x = c(1, 2, 3), y = c(1, 10, 3)) plot(df$x, df$y) ``` ## test 2 looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong string ```{r, echo = false, fig.width = 6.5, fig.height = 5} plot(df$y, df$x) ``` ## test 3 still 6
