Hi,
I want to specify the size of a graphic in an Beamer presentation
generated from my org file. The following
#+ATTR_LATEX: :height 0.75\textheight
works, but
#+ATTR_LATEX: :height 0.75\beamer@frametextheight
I get the error
! Undefined control sequence.
\Gin@@eheight ->0.5\beamer
@frametextheight
I assume I need to insert a \makeatletter at the appropriate point.
Where would that be?
Cheers,
Loris

You might find it easier to create your own variable in the header of the LaTeX file and use that directly, as in (untested):
#+latex_header: \makeatletter\let\mytextheight\beamer@frametexheight\makeatother
...
#+attr_latex: :height 0.75\mytextheight

Thanks, but with that I get
! Undefined control sequence.
\Gin@@eheight ->0.75\mytextheight
However, the tex file looks OK:
...
\usepackage[sfdefault]{Fira Sans}
\makeatletter\let\mytextheight\beamer@frametexheight\makeatother
\definecolor{mFubMainGreen}{HTML}{99CC00}
...
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[height=0.75\mytextheight]{../../common/resources.png}
\end{center}
...
Any ideas what might still be going wrong?

Hi Loris,
I don't know beamer enough to propose an elegant solution. Nonetheless I
have ideas what might go wrong here.

First, \let copies the at-the-moment-of-definition version of
\beamer@frametexheight to \mytextheight. This happens in the preamble.
I expect beamer to set up things like frame height at the begin of the
document (exactly the \begin{document} line), not earlier. Thus at the
point of that \let, that length isn't what you want yet.
Solution to this:
#+begin_export latex
\makeatletter...
#+end_export
Second, \let creates a macro whereas it then is used as a length for the
figure. I doubt that is possible.
If that's the reason, you might try
#+begin_export latex
\newlength\mytextheight
\makeatletter
\setlength\mytextheight{\beamer@frametexheight}
\makeatother
#+end_export
Perhaps this gives you a starting point to further play with it.
HTH,
Julius

Oh, or perhaps just a typo is involved: is it really
\beamer@frametexheight or rather \beamer@frametextheight you are chasing
after?

Also, you may need to define your mytextheight as a length and then use \setlength instead of \let.

After correcting the typo I followed Eric's and Julius's suggestions and
I tried adding
#+LATEX_HEADER: \newlength\mytextheight\makeatletter\setlength\mytextheight{\beamer@frametextheight}\makeatother
to the beginning of the Org file, but in this case
\the\mytextheight
is 0.0pt. After that I tried adding the definition on the slide itself:
#+BEGIN_SRC latex
\newlength\mytextheight\makeatletter\setlength\mytextheight{\beamer@frametextheight}\makeatother
#+END_SRC
but got the error
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \beamer
l.153 \end{frame}
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again>
@
l.153 \end{frame}
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Loris

Louis,
a hunch, which might work.
It seems that, if you try to set the length in your preamble,
`\beamer@frametextheight` is not yet defined.
So, you might try the hook `\AtBeginDocument` to see if the definition
comes at a better timing.
#+LATEX_HEADER:
\newlength\mytextheight\AtBeginDocument{\makeatletter\setlength\mytextheight{\beamer@frametextheight}\makeatother}
As I said, it's a hunch, for I haven't tested. But I think it may be it.
Best,
Gustavo.

Why not put the entire thing inside \AtBeginDocument?
To the OP: \paperheight does seem to be available in Beamer.
Couldn't you use that?

That's what I suspected. You could try to wrap this line in an
#+begin_export latex block (as I suggested), then it will be within the
document instead of in the preamble.
I usually refrain from using AtBeginDocument hooks (Gustavo Barros'
suggestion) because I do not know enough about them, so I rather add the
commands to a place I can see ;-)

Hm, src-block? I would have thought you should wrap that in an
export-block, so those commands get added to the exported document, not
quoted within as a source code. That would mean
#+begin_export latex
\newlength\mytextheight\makeatletter\setlength\mytextheight{\beamer@frametextheight}\makeatother
#+end_export

Using
#+LATEX_HEADER: \newlength\mytextheight\AtBeginDocument{\makeatletter\setlength\mytextheight{\beamer@frametextheight}\makeatother}
also leads to the error
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \beamer
So I went with \paperheight instead, which works fine.

:-) sometimes we get caught up with complex solutions (and fail) when
easy solutions exist!
Glad you got it sorted in any case.

I tried that, but still got the error about \beamer being undefined.
However, my understanding is that, if I am exporting to LaTeX, then
BEGIN_SRC latex
and
BEGIN_EXPORT latex
do the same thing. So if I have the following in my org file:
#+BEGIN_EXPORT latex
\newlength\mytextheight\makeatletter\setlength\mytextheight{\beamer@frametextheight}\makeatother
#+END_EXPORT
#+BEGIN_SRC latex
\newlength\mytextheight\makeatletter\setlength\mytextheight{\beamer@frametextheight}\makeatother
#+END_SRC
I get
\newlength\mytextheight\makeatletter\setlength\mytextheight{\beamer@frametextheight}\makeatother
\newlength\mytextheight\makeatletter\setlength\mytextheight{\beamer@frametextheight}\makeatother
in my tex file.
Cheers,
Loris
