If the former, you can control fig.width and asp globally via knitr::opts_chunk. See www.jumpingrivers.com/blog/knitr-d… ↪

Plot shows probability of bounded scales by the levels of a factor (like varying intercepts)…

cool trick I learn from chatgpt:
if you use r in windows, you can make R throw a notification window:
system(‘powershell -Command “Add-Type -AssemblyName PresentationFramework; [System.Windows.MessageBox]::Show('Script has finished running!')”’)
that is pretty useful for long scripts ↪
