R Markdown Format for Dashboards based on Flexdashboard

Format for converting an R Markdown document to a grid oriented dashboard layout. The dashboard flexibly adapts the size of it's plots and htmlwidgets to its containing web page.

dashboard(fig_width = 6, fig_height = 4.8, fig_retina = 2,
  fig_mobile = TRUE, dev = "png", smart = TRUE,
  self_contained = TRUE, favicon = NULL, sources = NULL,
  feedback_email = NULL, source_code = NULL,
  orientation = c("columns", "rows"), vertical_layout = c("fill",
  "scroll"), storyboard = FALSE, highlight = "default",
  mathjax = "default", extra_dependencies = NULL, css = NULL,
  includes = NULL, lib_dir = NULL, md_extensions = NULL,
  pandoc_args = NULL, devel = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

fig_width	Default width (in inches) for figures
fig_height	Default height (in inches) for figures
fig_retina	Scaling to perform for retina displays (defaults to 2). Note that for flexdashboard enabling retina scaling provides for both crisper graphics on retina screens but also much higher quality auto-scaling of R graphics within flexdashboard containers.
fig_mobile	Create an additional rendering of each R graphics figure optimized for rendering on mobile devices oriented in portrait mode. If TRUE, creates a figure which is 3.75 x 4.80 inches wide; if FALSE, create no additional figure for mobile devices; if a numeric vector of length 2, creates a mobile figure with the specified width and height.
dev	Graphics device to use for figure output (defaults to png)
smart	Produce typographically correct output, converting straight quotes to curly quotes, --- to em-dashes, -- to en-dashes, and ... to ellipses.
self_contained	Produce a standalone HTML file with no external dependencies, using data: URIs to incorporate the contents of linked scripts, stylesheets, images, and videos. Note that even for self contained documents MathJax is still loaded externally (this is necessary because of its size).
favicon	Path to graphic to be used as a favicon for the dashboard. Pass NULL to use no favicon.
source_code	URL for source code of dashboard (used primarily for publishing flexdashboard examples). Automatically creates a navbar item which links to the source code.
orientation	Determines whether level 2 headings are treated as dashboard rows or dashboard columns.
vertical_layout	Vertical layout behavior: "fill" to vertically resize charts so they completely fill the page; "scroll" to layout charts at their natural height, scrolling the page if necessary.
storyboard	TRUE to use a storyboard layout scheme that places each dashboard component in a navigable storyboard frame. When a storyboard layout is used the orientation and vertical_layout arguments are ignored. When creating a dashbaord with multiple pages you should apply the `.storyboard` attribute to individual pages rather than using the global storyboard option.
highlight	Syntax highlighting style. Supported styles include "default", "tango", "pygments", "kate", "monochrome", "espresso", "zenburn", and "haddock". Pass NULL to prevent syntax highlighting.
mathjax	Include mathjax. The "default" option uses an https URL from a MathJax CDN. The "local" option uses a local version of MathJax (which is copied into the output directory). You can pass an alternate URL or pass NULL to exclude MathJax entirely.
extra_dependencies	Additional function arguments to pass to the base R Markdown HTML output formatter html_document_base
css	One or more css files to include
includes	Named list of additional content to include within the document (typically created using the includes function).
lib_dir	Directory to copy dependent HTML libraries (e.g. jquery, bootstrap, etc.) into. By default this will be the name of the document with _files appended to it.
md_extensions	Markdown extensions to be added or removed from the default definition or R Markdown. See the rmarkdown_format for additional details.
pandoc_args	Additional command line options to pass to pandoc
devel	Enable development mode (used for development of the format itself, not useful for users of the format).
...	Unused
