R Markdown Smaller Output Matrix

Question

I have a matrix that is being outputted in to a RMarkDown PDF.

It is several columns wide and 10 rows. Is there a way to force it fit horizontally as oppose to going further down the page?

{r out.width = '200px', out.height = '200px'} mat

Right now it looks like this....

Would you consider making the pdf landscape instead of portrait? That would be a very easy solution. Otherwise, and people can feel free to correct me, you'd have to convert the output into a table/data.frame and then put that into the pdf. Which isn't horrible, just not as easy as making the page landscape. — Andrew Taylor, Jan 09 '15 at 21:14

You can redefine override the default wrapping width.

```{r}
options(width=100)
mat
'''

Note sure that this will be optimal/good choice when you convert your markdown to pdf...
