r knitr chunk options for figure height / width are not working
I used to use knitr in R to produce reports from the .Rnw format. In my reports I often put a plenty of plots and manipulated their size with the use of chunk optios, e.g.:
\begin{figure}[h!]
\centering
<<fig.width=6, fig.height=4, out.width='.89\\linewidth'>>=
plot(mtcars)
@
\caption{}
\end{figure}
It was few months ago. Then I moved to another environment, reinstalled R and these options seem no longer work - the plot size stays unchanged on the PDF output!
Here comes all the lines of code regarding any option settings. I am looking forward any suggestions what am I doing wrong.
<< >>=
library(knitr)
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo=F, eval=T, message = F, warning=F, cache = F, fig=TRUE)
@
\begin{figure}[h!]
\centering
<<fig.width=10, fig.height=3, out.width='.89\\linewidth', fig=TRUE, echo=F>>=
plot(mtcars)
@
\caption{mtcars plot}
\end{figure}
Exactly the same result appears when I use <<fig.width=10, fig.height=3, fig=TRUE, echo=F>>=.

Solution 1:
I'm pretty sure you were using Sweave instead of knitr. If you were using RStudio (you did not say it but I guess so), you need to change the global option (or project option) to knitr:
