How to print file to Shiny using renderText

Question

I\'m missing something here because the image doesn\'t display.

Thanks.

shinyServer(function(input, output) {
  src = \"einstein.jpg\"
  print(file

If you put your picture einstein.jpg in a img/ subfolder of your app, you can use addResourcePath to allow access to it:

library(shiny)
shinyApp(ui=fluidPage(htmlOutput("text3")),
         server=(function(input, output) {
           addResourcePath("foo", "img")  
           out = '<img src="/foo/einstein.jpg" style=width:304px;height:228px;>'
           output$text3<-renderText(out)
         }))
