Then in individual chunks, only adjust `fig-asp`. -- Control the output size with `out-width` and set it to a percentage of the line width. - We suggest `out-width: "70%"` and `fig-align: center`. +- Control the output size with `out-width` and set it to a percentage of the body width of the output document. + We suggest to `out-width: "70%"` and `fig-align: center`. + That gives plots room to breathe, without taking up too much space. - To put multiple plots in a single row, set the `layout-ncol` to 2 for two plots, 3 for three plots, etc. + This effectively sets `out-width` to "50%" for each of your plots if `layout-ncol` is 2, "33%" if `layout-ncol` is 3, etc. Depending on what you're trying to illustrate (e.g., show data or show plot variations), you might also tweak `fig-width`, as discussed below. If you find that you're having to squint to read the text in your plot, you need to tweak `fig-width`.
