as_image

Render the table as an format-independent image and use it in rmarkdown

Description

This function generates a temporary png file using save_kable and then try to put it in an rmarkdown document using knitr::include_graphics.

Usage

as_image(x, width = NULL, height = NULL, file = NULL, ...)

Arguments

`x`	kable input. Either HTML or LaTeX
`width`	Image width in inches. (1 inch = 2.54 cm)
`height`	Image height in inches. (1 inch = 2.54 cm)
`file`	By default, as_image saves to an temp file, which works for normal rmarkdown. However if you are using things like xaringan, which can't be a standalone html, you can specify this file be the path you need, eg. "img/something.png"
`...`	Additional arguments passed to save_kable.
