Unable to view plots on .md file in GitHub

Question

I created a R markdown file on R Studio and used the Knit function to create an html file. Eventually, .md file and html files were created in my working directory. Also, a figures folder/directory was created automatically. And hence, I pushed all the changes made to my GitHub repository.

Now, my problem here is when I open the .md (markdown) file on GitHub, it doesn't view the plots. It shows the link to it though. Attached a snippet for reference.

I tried a couple of things which didn't work:

1. Added the below code chunk

   library(knitr)
   opts_chunk$set(dev="png")
   

2. Impended ?raw=true end of the image link. I changed

    to

   

I am using:

• R-Studio Version : 1.0.143

• Windows 7

Answer 1

Solved the problem!

I removed spaces from code chunk names and it worked.

I can now view plots/figures in the markdown file.

One of the posts on R-studio support had me try this solution. Repeated google search helped.
