Introduction

This is the iheiddown_betterport template for the {iheiddown} [@iheiddown] package! Based on the great {posterdown} package, it provides the user with an IHEID version of the template by default. The original {posterdown} template was inspired by the twitter thread of Mike Morrison.

# Writing the bibliography of the packages you're using to create the current
# poster is a great way to give credit to the authors of the packages you're
# using.
knitr::write_bib(c('iheiddown',
                   'rmarkdown',
                   'posterdown',
                   'iheiddown'),
                 'packages.bib')

Objectives

1. Pick a template layout.
2. Write/ create your poster content distraction free.
3. Press CTRL+K and let {iheiddown} do its thing!

Read the guide below (mostly identical to posterdown). It will make you familiar with the ways of creating a great poster.

Methods

I will show here how to include poster elements that may be useful, such as an equation using mathjax:

$$ E = mc^2 $$

To reference a citation you can add your .bib file to the working directory and name it in the YAML metadata or generate an automated one as done here, then you only need to reference the label value in the .bib file. For example this package is built on top of the wonderful {pagedown} package and I will cite it at the end of this sentance using this in the rmd [@R-pagedown] [@R-pagedown].

To get a better understanding of how to include features like these please refer to the {iheiddown} wiki.

Now on to the results!

Results

Here you may have some figures to show off, bellow I have made a scatterplot with the infamous Iris dataset and I can even reference to the figure automatically like this, Figure \@ref(fig:irisfigure), Figure \@ref(fig:irisfigure).

par(mar=c(2,2,0,1))
plot(x = iris$Sepal.Length, y = iris$Sepal.Width,
     col = iris$Species, pch = 19, xlab = "Sepal Length",
     ylab = "Sepal Width")

Maybe you want to show off some of that fancy code you spent so much time on to make that figure, well you can do that too! Just use the echo=TRUE option in the r code chunk options, Figure \@ref(fig:myprettycode)!

#trim whitespace
par(mar=c(2,2,0,0))
#plot boxplots
boxplot(iris$Sepal.Width~iris$Species,
        col = "#ed2215", 
        border = "#800000",
        ylab = "Sepal Width (cm)",
        xlab = "Species")

How about a neat table of data? See, Table \@ref(tab:iristable):

knitr::kable(
  iris[1:15,1:5], format = "html",
  caption = "A table made with the **knitr::kable** function.",
  align = "c", col.names = c("Sepal <br> Length",
                             "Sepal <br> Width",
                             "Petal <br> Length",
                             "Petal <br> Width",
                             "Species"),
  escape = FALSE)
