I am trying to create a Tufte-styled document in LyX that incorporates R code output using the knitr library and the Tufte-LaTeX book package. I would like one of my figures generated by R code within the document to be full width (fig.fullwidth = TRUE), spanning both the normal text column and the margin. However, LyX will not produce a PDF with the full width figure; no matter what I do, the figure is always the normal text column width.
I'm at a loss as to why this isn't working. I hoping someone can point me toward a solution.
Below is a minimal reproducible example of a LyX document that shows the problem.
FWIW, if I create the same test document in RMarkdown, the fig.fullwidth flag works as expected. Unfortunately, switching to RMarkdown is not practical for the full document that I'm working on.
