How to center an oversized figure (md to tex to pdf)?

How to center an oversized figure (md to tex to pdf)?

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1444 bytes --]

Hi all, 

I am trying to center figures on pdf. The main.md has:

![some text](some-figure.png){width=166%  #fig:figlabel}

The created .tex file has

\begin{figure}
\hypertarget{fig:figlabel}{%
\centering
\includegraphics[width=1.66\textwidth,height=\textheight]{some-figure.png}
\caption{some text}\label{fig:figlabel}
}
\end{figure}

I read from SO (link removed) that a possible solution is to use

\usepackage[export]{adjustbox}[2011/08/13]

in latex preamble and add "center" argument to includegraphics, like so:

 \includegraphics[width=1.66\textwidth,height=\textheight, *center*
]{some-figure.png}

I tested it and it works. Now, how would one add arguments to 
includegraphics from within markdown?  Another solution I came up with 
would include redefining includegraphics in latex preamble to always have 
the "center" added, but I feel that is a bit hacky. Is there a better way?

Regards,

Niko

I'm confused.  The code pandoc produces already contains \centering, which should center the graphic.
Did it not do this?

If the figure is oversized (larger than \textwidth), it needs special 
handling. Otherwise, in the pdf the figure will start at the end of left 
margin, and only overflow to the right margin.

Re: How to center an oversized figure (md to tex to pdf)?

I haven't been able to get good results using adjustbox and center, in my tests.
Either the aspect ratio is wrong or the whole thing is not 1.66 size.

In any case, I wouldn't want to depend on adjustbox in the default template.

If this solution actually worked, I'd be tempted to allow a center attribute to
propagate through (though there is risk that people will do this and then get
confused because the custom template doesnt' contain adjustbox).  But I can't
get it to work well, even specifying the specific version of adjustbox as you do.
