I got the odt export working and I'm very excited about the
possibility of using it, but when I export a file with an image link,
the image isn't embedded. Instead there's a link to the file. Do I
need to take any special steps to embed images in export?
A few other questions, is there any functionality for export to ODP,
that would be great. If it is possible to export to ODP, would it be
possible to include the latex code for any embedded images in the
comments of the slides? Finally, in odt export, is it possible to
export tikz diagrams as images and embed those in the file?
Thanks,
Derek

how's your link? could you please verify with the HTML export?
from the manual "Images in HTML export":
By default(1), images are inlined if a link does not have a description.
So
`[[file:myimg.jpg]]' will be inlined, while
`[[file:myimg.jpg][the image]]'will just produce a link `the image' that
points to the image.
I think the odt exporter follows such conventions.

It depends on how the link to the image looks like. Providing a file
link with NO description will embed the image. This behaviour is in
harmony with what the html exporter does.
*** Inlined Images
**** A simple inlined image
[[./org-mode-unicorn.png]]
**** A simple image with caption and label
#+CAPTION: Unicorn Logo
#+LABEL: fig:1024
[[./org-mode-unicorn.png]]
**** An image that is explicitly sized
#+CAPTION: Unicorn Logo
#+LABEL: fig:1025
#+ATTR_ODT: (:width 10 :height 10)
[[./org-mode-unicorn.png]]
**** An image that is scaled
#+ATTR_ODT: (:scale 0.5)

Currently there is a clunky interface but it is quite handy for creating
a quick draft presentation based on Org outline. See the attached org,
odp and pdf file for what is possible. Note that the presentation itself
was created using org-lparse-* commands.

Not sure. Let me revisit this question after some homework..

Does your plotter - R, gnuplot or whatever - support SVG. I see that
LibreOffice-3.4 (which I have locally installed) supports embedding of
SVG images. These SVG images are actually embedded as SVM files in the
exported ODT file. Using BasicODConverter (which uses UNO APIs) SVG->SVM
creation is a no-brainer. But my little experimentation suggests that
the SVG images might have to be cropped. But in the long run, working
with SVG files will probably be a winner.
For now, you may want to export Tikz->Pdf->High Resolution PNG using
Image Magick. Hint: Search this list.
Currently I am making improvements to the odt exporter purely based on
user needs and feedback. I will diligently consider all feedback or
feature requests.

* Exporting Org files
** Exporting Org->Doc or Pdf
*** Use C-c C-e O or C-c C-e o
Exporter will not only output the odt file but will also export it
to your preferred format configured in the previous step.
** Exporting Org->Odt/Ppt
*** Visit your .org file
*** M-x org-lparse-and-open
**** Export To: => choose odp or ppt
**** Native Backend: => choose odt
**** Have you read the note of CAUTION?
The file will first be exported to odt and then converted to
odp/ppt. The odt->odp conversion will launch LibreOffice
frame. The export is NOT FINISHED YET. WAIT FOR 10 SECS after
which it would close. This means that conversion is fully done.
If you have used org-lparse-and-open the presentation will be
opened again for your review.
The macro does the same thing as LibreOffice's File->Send->Outline
to Presentation but in a hands-off manner.
**** Further Adjustments may be needed
- See
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Impress_Guide/Creating_slides_from_an_outline
for more information.
* Converting Non-Org files
** Visit your odt file
- File will open within Emacs in archive mode
** Use C-u M-x org-lparse-convert RET
*** Fill "File to be Converted"
*** Output Format: => choose odp
*** Wait for 10-15s and be patient until the file is produced
* Power Tips
** Use TAB for completing available formats

I don't know how it would interact with R/gunplot/etc... But I have
hacked my local copy of org-mode to use pdflatex+preview+pdf2svg instead
of latex and dvipng for turning latex blocks into images. I haven't got
around to submitting it, since there should really be some refactoring
of the image handling code to deal with it.

Jambunathan,
Thanks that looks like it's exactly what I need. I have been
partially successful in getting the exporter running, but it stalls
out after creating the odt file and opening it in openoffice. Any
tips for getting ppt or odp export up and running. One thing I have
noticed is if I have openoffice opent when I initialize an export, I
get an error:
/home/dthomas/Dropbox/Presentations/Indy2011/"macro:///BasicODConverter.Main.Convert(file:///home/dthomas/Dropbox/Presentations/Indy2011/indy.odt,odp,file:///home/dthomas/Dropbox/Presentations/Indy2011/indy.odp)"
does not exist.
Any suggestions? Thanks for your help, the ODT exporter is awesome!

The exporter tries to delete the old .odt file before creating the new
.odt file. Since OpenOffice locks the file that it opens, there is some
sort of access violation. So it is normal to get an error.

What surprises me is that I don't see `soffice -norestore -invisible

Can you check what the value of `variable
org-lparse-convert-process'. It should have something as seen below -
specifically the soffice part.

I work on a Windows machine. You seem to be using Linux. May be it is
not soffice but soffice.bin. Try creating a symlink between the two
names and see if the problem goes away.
It is important that
M-: (executable-find "soffice")
should report some valid path.

There is an soffice.bin on Linux, but you cannot or should not call it
directly. If everything is installed as it should, there should be a
symlink from /usr/bin/soffice (may in /usr/local for some distros) to
wherever OpenOffice / LibreOffice has it's binaries installed.

Achim.

This returns a valid result. Also, executing the printed soffice
command at the command line works. Internally, emacs prints a failed
message after the command in the *Messages* buffer.
It seems that the exporter strips the images from the ppt/odp export.
They are there when I export the odt from orgmode, but don't appear in
the presentation.

Yes, I noticed that as well. This is really a bug with
OpenOffice-3.2. You will see that the above issue manifests itself in
the odp slideshow as well. This then gets carried over to pdf file.
I tried using LibreOffice-3.4. See the attached files. The "space" issue
you have spotted has gone away. But the first slide is clobbered. I will
file a bug against LibreOffice someday.
To clarify,
org->odt happens with org-odt.el
odt->odp happens with Open/LibreOffice's own converter.
odp->pdf also happens with Open/LibreOffice's own converter.
org-lparse + BasicODConverter is merely a glue code.
ps: I really like the idea of creating presentation right from the
original Org file as opposed to creating a separate file for
presentations. I see that University crowd forms a significant and
serious user base of Orgmode. To them, creating a first draft of
presentation right from their dissertation would appeal readily.
