Actually, going through the set of lectures I am currently preparing,
I am finding that there is one thing missing that I haven't needed
before in latex export: the ability to centre a figure without having
to use a float environment.
Back in September, early October, there was a thread about image
placement in latex export:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/18174/
There was a number of use cases discussed: inline placement versus
float placement. There is one use case missing, one that is
particularly useful for presentations, although not often necessary
for articles say, namely a figure centred on a line without a caption
and without floating. This seemed to be present at some point in the
past but has disappeared, unless I have misunderstood the state of
play...
Basically, I would like to do something like:
,----
| In a double pipe heat exchanger,
|
| [[file:images/double-pipe-heat-exchanger.png]]
|
| the heat transfer etc. ad nauseum...
`----
and have that figure centred on the line instead of left aligned as it
would currently appear.
If I add a #+label: the image does appear centred but as this is done
by using a latex figure environment, a Figure: caption (empty) is
added which isn't particularly useful in this case!
There *is* a solution, but it's a bit messy, e.g.:
,----
|
| \hfill
| #+attr_latex: width=0.6\textwidth
| [[file:images/double-pipe-heat-exchanger.png]]
| \hspace*{\fill} \\
|
`----
By the way, an \hfill at the end is not sufficient to centre the image.
I have no solution to propose for incorporating something like this
into org-mode other than possibly making use of a placement=centre
(oops, center if you prefer american spelling) option on attr_latex
which would put the includegraphics within a \centerline or \centering
environment.
Thanks,
eric
