How to insert a picture into Shiny?

[Oliver Wang]

Hi guys,

Do you know how to insert a picture into Shiny?

I want to display a logo in the headerPanel section.

Best wishes,

Oliver

You can insert HTML in a Shiny app like this (not tested):

      HTML('<p><img src="Logo.png"/></p>')

The logo image needs to be in a folder called 'www', located in your app's directory.

How would one include this in the headerPanel section?
Thanks

headerPanel(

   HTML('<p><img src="Logo.png"/></p>')

)

If you also want to include text in the headerPanel you can combine them:

headerPanel(

  list(HTML('<img src="Logo.png"/>'), "My Title"),

  windowTitle="My Title"

)

You probably don't want to stick a <p> in there, as the title will be rendered inside an <h1> (which can't legally contain <p>).

The second argument is the title of the document that the web browser will use (for example, to show as the title of the browser tab).

Thanks for the discussion!

I have a related question: Joe Cheng showed how to give a title to the browser tab opened by Shiny, using windowTitle.
Is it possible to use an icon/image instead of a title in character?

I am also trying to figure out if the icon of my application could appear instead of  the firefox/Chrome symbol of the browser, in the bottom toolbar (but I am not sure if that is possible).

Thanks!
