Figures can not have width smaller than chunk layout about distill HOT 6 CLOSED

We do indeed set width to 100% for plots (mostly so that they occupy the full width of layouts that exceed the bounds of the text column though). Perhaps we could not do this for the default l-body layout. To ensure that we're addressing exactly your scenario, could you please include a short example Rmd that exhibits the problematic behavior?

I attempted a fix here: rstudio/radix@d2e4f81

Let me know if that works as expected for your scenario.

Thank you for being so quick. I will do some more tests as I finish my reports but the 2 cases that were giving me issues before are working just fine! I can now use out.width to change the size of my output or simply leave it blank to display plots at the size rendered by R - just what I wanted.

While I understand why you went with the option of forcing 100%, it's not always the best if the user desires to have plots with certain aspect ratios. In my case, I am using raster files of sediment cores (which are very long but thin) as a background for my plots and to mantain decent aspect ratios I would need gigantic plots.

Thank you for your work into this project.

Great, glad it's working as desired now! Let me know if you find other cases that don't quite act the way you want them to.

I just encountered another issue - adding a figure caption (via the fig.cap chunk option) sets the out.width to 100% again, even in cases that were fixed by your previous update.

Thanks for reporting, should be fixed now!
