To: Org Mode
I was looking for a way to put illustrations in my org-mode files so
that I could actually look at them while editing the org stuff. I found
a post a while ago suggesting using iimage mode (which is included with
the Aquamacs that I use, and is readily available if you don't have it
with your emacs).
I found I needed to do a little customization to make iimage work for
me, so I thought I would post the details in case they were useful to
anyone else.
Here's the bit I added to my org configuration to make this work:
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook
'(lambda ()
;; unnecessary
;; (make-variable-buffer-local
'iimage-mode-image-filename-regex)
(let ((file-extension-regex
(regexp-opt (nconc (mapcar #'upcase
image-file-name-extensions)
image-file-name-extensions)
t)))
(setq iimage-mode-image-regex-alist
(list
(cons
(concat
"\\[\\["
(regexp-quote "file:")
"\\([^]]+\." file-extension-regex "\\)"
"\\]"
"\\(\\[" "\\([^]]+\\)" "\\]\\)?"
"\\]")
1))))))
Note that this /only/ displays inline local (file) links, not http
images. It wouldn't be hard to add that --- I built the above by
copying and modifying the org-bracket-link-analytic-regexp variable
initialization. If one wanted to put this more generally into org-mode,
it would probably be right to make the iimage-mode-image-regex-alist be
under control of some org customization (to handle local versus all
images, etc.).
I don't generally want iimage mode on in all of my org-mode buffers, so
I use the file variables block to engage iimage mode where I want it.
If you'd like it always to be on, then you can just add iimage-mode
(it's a minor mode) to your org-mode-hook.
Hope that's of interest to someone...
Cheers,
r

Hi Robert,
There's already org-display-inline-images, which iIrc uses overlays
rather than the text properties used by iimage. Does your route offer
advantages over this?

Nope. Just didn't know it was there. It's not in the manual (if I get
a chance, I'll try to write up a patch, or maybe someone else can); the
only thing I found on inline images was about export to HTML. So then I
googled, and found the material on iimage only, not o-d-i-i.
Actually, having said that, on Aquamacs, o-d-i-i doesn't seem to work
well. For reasons I'm too ignorant to explain, o-d-i-i causes the
images to flash repeatedly, instead of simply being displayed....

Right, good catch. Someone needs to add it.

Hmm, I don't think this is a good guess, but if you're using
org-indent-mode does turning it off help?

Hi Robert,
just use `org-display-inline-images' or `org-toggle-inline-images'.
Not sure if it works with Aquamacs.

Doesn't seem to (see earlier response).
Suggestion: add documentation of this to Markup>Images and tables in the
org manual? I'm still not entirely sure how to use it. Is there some
magic I can put in the Local Variables block that will cause the images
to be displayed on startup?
# org-display-inline-images: t
doesn't seem to do this --- I still needed to call o-d-i-i or o-t-i-i
even with that in the block.
I'm willing to write up the manual patch; I'm just not entirely sure
what it should say (and whether my proposed location is the right one).
best,
r

Would it be reasonable to augment org's processing of #+ directives so
that an org user can specify there instead of using the local variables,
which is less user-friendly?

Yes. I have just implemented startup keywords `inlineimages' and
`noinlineimages', as well as a new variable
`org-startup-with-inline-images' for a global setting.
