3 VS Code Snippets, to make writing in Quarto even easier! 🔨
Today, I bring you something hands-on: 3 snippets to implement figures in Quarto with ease. Cross-referencing, captions and all.
I love writing, programming and analysing data.
Quarto allows me to combine all three, for example in VS Code.
Today, I bring you something hands-on: 3 snippets to implement figures in Quarto with ease. Cross-referencing, captions and all.
These 3 snippets include: r-figure, r-figure-subplot2 and r-figure-subplot3. You can find them at the end of this article.
r-figure simply implements a single figure, while the other two snippets implement 2-figure and 3-figure subplots respectively. The 2-figure subplot looks something like this in your paper:
Simply type e.g. figure hit tab to execute the Snippet, type in a label name for your figure, hit tab, write a caption for your figure, hit tab, and implement your plot object (e.g. a ggplot2 object when using R).
