We can use the out.width= and out.height= to adjust how much space a figure takes up in the final document. The above figure is reduced to fill just half the textwidth of the document using:

<<myfigure, fig.align="center", fig.width=3.5, out.width="0.5\textwidth">>=
... R code ...
@

If that is too wide, we can reduce it to 90% of the page width with:

<<myfigure, fig.align="center", fig.width=3.5, out.width="0.9\textwidth">>=
... R code ...
@

\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{figures/onepager/knitr:example_figure_out_width_0_9-1}
