I am using a custom modebar icon to open a link in a new window, and have some related problems
Problem 1)Custom icon is not a square. If rescaled to fit in a square would be too small. How do you get it to display properly? To edit in the html that you get after knitting your rmarkdown is straightforward, by right clicking on your icon, and selecting inspect, you can change the width from 1em to 2em to get a wide rectangle.
<svg viewBox="0 0 NaN" class="icon" height="1em" width="2em">
How do you control this in R?
Problem 2)Custom icon comes in default drab gray. How to get your preferred color? To edit in the html that you get after knitting your rmarkdown is straightforward, by right clicking on your icon, and selecting inspect, and adding the style = fill... code below, your color can be used:
transform="scale(1) translate(0, -8)" style="fill:#7ac143"></path>
How do you control this in R? Example code below doesn't use the colour setting.
Problem 3)Icon has a link which ideally opens in a new window. The plotly button does open a new window. Example code below for the custom icon doesn't use the "blank" option to open in a new window.
How can you make this open in a new window?
