How can I make the width of an image in a Shiny app dynamic?
I am writing an app and I want the image in the sidebarPanel to be just a bit bigger than the image I put inside it. As the window gets smaller or larger, so does the sidebar, but the image stays static. How do I fix this problem? Is there a way to get the sidebar length or is there a better way to render images?
ui.R
library(shiny)
shinyUI(bootstrapPage(
# Application title
titlePanel("Sidebar Image App"),
sidebarPanel(
imageOutput("image", height = "auto")
)
))
server.R
library(shiny)
shinyServer(function(input, output, session) {
output$image <- renderImage({
return(list(
src = "one.png",
contentType = "image/png",
height = 185,
alt = "Face"
))
})
})
You can style the image using css tag as below:
shinyUI(bootstrapPage(
titlePanel("Sidebar Image App"),
tags$head(tags$style(
type="text/css",
"#image img {max-width: 100%; width: 100%; height: auto}"
)),
sidebarPanel(
imageOutput("image")
)
)),
where css id selector (here #image ) should correspond to the outputId of the imageOutput .
