Hello all,
I have noticed that it seems not possible to evaluate a babel block of code
which generates an image, and to have a #+ATTR_LATEX line exist which
immediately precedes the generated link to the image. In other words, If
there's already a #+ATTR_LATEX line, I need to move it after the block is
evaluated, or else it doesn't immediately precede the generated link.
For example, if I have the following...
#+begin_src python :exports none :results file
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig=plt.figure(figsize=(3,2))
plt.plot([1,3,2])
fig.tight_layout()
figname = '/tmp/myfig.jpg'
plt.savefig(figname)
return(figname) # return this to org-mode
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
#+ATTR_LATEX: :float figure :placement [htb!] :width 0.38\textwidth
... when I evaluate the code-block, the image-link gets inserted directly
after the #+RESULTS line, and before the #+ATTR_LATEX line. Without the
+ATTR_LATEX line, directly preceding the image-link, no image is inserted
into the PDF which is created when exporting via the latex-exporter.
So, it would be ideal if either:
(1) #+ATTR_LATEX lines applied to whatever image link which appears next,
even if there are additional lines starting with # that are between the
image-link and the #+ATTR_LATEX line,
OR (2) when evaluating an org-babel block, the results were placed *after*
any #... lines that follow a #+RESULTS line.
Does this make sense, or am I possibly not understanding something about
how to make it so that I don't have to modify my document anywhere else
after I change and evaluate an org-babel block? (currently I need to
relocate the #+ATTR_LATEX line any time I evaluate an image-generating
block)
I'm using the latest org-mode (8.2.1-117-gaff4f1).
Regards,
Mark

Mark,
I think you want to use named results. My images typically look something
like this:
#+NAME: architecture
#+HEADER: :exports results
#+HEADER: :file (org-babel-temp-file "./figure-" ".eps")
#+HEADER: :cache yes
#+BEGIN_SRC plantuml
...
#+END_SRC
#+NAME: fig-architecture
#+CAPTION: Overview of mini-me architecture.
#+ATTR_LaTeX: :width \textwidth :placement [h!bt]
#+RESULTS: architecture
[[file:c:/Users/mgauland/AppData/Local/Temp/babel-5988Tli/figure-5988XRB.eps]]
Does that help?
Kind Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
That does help -- when testing it, I found that the problem had more to do
with my header options than to do with the presence or absence of a #+NAME
line. But still, with the header options I gave in my original example,
org-babel's behavior does seem strange (maybe buggy?) to me. My working
code now looks like:
#+begin_src python :exports results :results file :eval no-export
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig=plt.figure(figsize=(3,2))
plt.plot([1,3,2])
fig.tight_layout()
figname = '/tmp/myfig.jpg'
plt.savefig(figname)
return(figname) # return this to org-mode
#+end_src
#+ATTR_LATEX: :float figure :placement [htb!] :width 0.38\textwidth
#+RESULTS:
Anyhow, something that wasn't clear to me about your example is how you make
the filename which is generated via org-babel-temp-file available for use
within the code-block?
Regards,
Mark

Babel takes care of that (plantuml interprets the :file argument as the name
of the file it should generate). I'm not sure the best way to get the file
name in to a Python block. You could probably pass the generated name in as
a :var parmater.
