Setting chunk options globally
Now that your plots are ready to include in your report, you can modify how they appear once the file is knit. Previously, you learned the difference between setting options globally and setting them locally. In this exercise, you'll set options for the figures globally, which means the options will apply to all figures throughout the code chunks in the report.

Exercise instructions
- Add to the
setupchunk at the top of the report to align all figures in the center of the report. - Add another option to the
setupchunk so that the output width of all figures are 80%.
