R Markdown plot will be out of area with `echo=FALSE`

Question

I use R Markdown to build a PDF, and I use ggplot2 to plot. without hiding the code everything is right. (ChickWeight is a default dataset)

```{r}
ggplot(ChickWeight, aes(Time, weight, color = Diet)) + geom_point() + geom_path() + geom_boxplot(aes(group=Time))

```

But when I hide the code part with {r echo=FALSE} then the plot picture will be out of the box.

I'm looking for help to solve this.

Works also fine on my machine. – TarJae Feb 03 '21 at 20:32 — TarJae, Feb 03 '21 at 20:32

I solved it just by an ENTER! I think it is a bug from R Markdown.

The problem occurs when the code is like this, without new line after the texts:

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
```{r echo=FALSE}
ggplot(ChickWeight, aes(Time, weight, color = Diet)) + geom_point() + geom_path() + geom_boxplot(aes(group=Time))
```

It can be solved just by putting a new line after the texts. I mean like this:

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

```{r echo=FALSE}
ggplot(ChickWeight, aes(Time, weight, color = Diet)) + geom_point() + geom_path() + geom_boxplot(aes(group=Time))
```

Problem solved!

Well done! See here a similar issue. – TarJae Feb 03 '21 at 20:35 — TarJae, Feb 03 '21 at 20:35
