title: Tables and Figures side-by-side in Knitr or RMarkdown Beamer
body: <p>I am trying to create a Beamer Presentation slide in RMarkdown / Knitr . In the slide I would like to have a table and a figure placed Side-by-side , and then some more text underneath. I can only get as far as my attempt as shown in the code. I would like to have the density plot placed, next to the Hmisc Table.</p>
  
  <p>I am not using Kable or xtable since I get more control over the tables with Hmisc. </p>
  
  <p>Also, How can I adjust the text characteristics (font-size, type, color) in the individual slides?</p>

  \scalebox{0.35}{
  ```{r hmisc-table, echo=FALSE, message=FALSE, results='asis'}
  library(Hmisc)
  latex(head(mtcars), file='', table.env=FALSE, center='none')
  ```
  }
  
  
  ```{r, echo=FALSE, fig.show='hold', fig.height=1, fig.width=2.5}
  library(ggplot2)
  mt &lt;- ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg)) + geom_density(alpha=.2, fill="#FF6666") +
    theme(axis.title.x = element_text(size=10),axis.text.x  = element_text(size=8),
          axis.title.y = element_text(size=10),axis.text.y  = element_text(size=8))
  mt
