How to bring caption (with transperancy) into an image in r markdown

Question

I try to make a basic structure file in r markdown where I can show 2 images. How can I bring the caption with transperancy into the image. And can someone give me a tip how to present a r markdown code as a question? The 3 backticks are working until the next ``` ..., and this is a problem with bunch of code junks. Thank you.

---

author: "TJ"

knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)

You can use image_readand image_annotate from the package magick. Here is an example:

library(magick)
yoda <-image_read(path = "yoda.jpg")

    
image_annotate(
  yoda,
  "Figure 1A",
  size = 30,
  color = "white",
  boxcolor = adjustcolor("black", alpha = 0.2), #change the alpha value for more of less transparency
  gravity = "southwest"
)

If you want to specify the location of the caption you can replace gravity = "southwest" with with location = " your cordinates". Ex:

image_annotate(
  yoda,
  "Figure 1A",
  size = 30,
  color = "white",
  boxcolor = adjustcolor("black", alpha = 0.2), #change the alpha value for more of less transparency
  location = "+10+400"
)
