Using nomnoml with pdf documents • nomnoml

library(nomnoml)

You can use nomnoml chunks in R Markdown with PDF output. Here is an example R Markdown, including the yaml header. Notice that you can use nomnoml chunks and these will be rendered by the nomnoml engine.

Chunk examples

Here is a rendered example of a chunk, using the default plot size:

#stroke: #a86128
#direction: down
[<frame>Decorator pattern|
  [<abstract>Component||+ operation()]
  [Client] depends --> [Component]
  [Decorator|- next: Component]
  [Decorator] decorates -- [ConcreteComponent]
  [Component] <:- [Decorator]
  [Component] <:- [ConcreteComponent]
]

And the same diagram, this time with specified size:

#stroke: #a86128
#direction: down
[<frame>Decorator pattern|
  [<abstract>Component||+ operation()]
  [Client] depends --> [Component]
  [Decorator|- next: Component]
  [Decorator] decorates -- [ConcreteComponent]
  [Component] <:- [Decorator]
  [Component] <:- [ConcreteComponent]
]
