* Choosing image format according to export backend

Dear list,

I would like to have the same org file export to both PDF (through
LaTeX) and HTML. The problem I have is images: for printing, PDF images
would be best but for display in a browser, it is much better to have a
PNG file rather than a link to the PDF. So what I need is for the
exporter to choose the image differently according to the backend.

I found this piece of code on stackoverflow:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports results :results value raw
(case (and (boundp 'backend) backend)
  (nil "")
  (latex "[[file:traps.pdf]]")
  (html "[[file:traps.png]]"))
#+end_src

That works, but I was not able to make it recognize captions and such
(except by pasting them in both options or otherwise modifying the lisp
code above). Plus the markup is a bit heavy. Is there a simpler way?

[One thing I thought about was to keep only one of them in the markup,
and modifying the output for the other backend. I kind of know how to
do that within LaTeX by redefining the \includegraphics command but it
feels ... well ... not elegant. Maybe using a hook during one of the
exports?]

Cheers,

... my entry for the dirtiest piece of code possible (but it works for
now):

(defun vb-massage-includegraphics (str backend opts)
  (replace-regexp-in-string ".png}" ".pdf}" str))
(add-hook 'org-export-filter-final-output-functions
          'vb-massage-includegraphics)

Am I on the right track? Meaning, after adding a test on the backend,
possibly a file existence check and so on. Or am I missing a simpler
way?

Cheers,

I know this is more of a request for coding help, but just wanted to
add my vote that this would be great. I don't use html *that* much,
but having the option would be awesome, and the replacement of all
*.pdf links with *.png (and typically re-running R code to generate
.png version, or running imagemagick on the dir to create them) is
typically too much of a barrier so I just stick with PDF/Beamer.

I'd love something like this.

I think this should be possible using filters in the exporter.

I posted a similar example recently.

This was very recently discussed with respect to latex code, and
conditional pdf or svg export.  Could the following solution be adapted
to your R code blocks?

  http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-LaTeX.html#sec-4-3

e.g. something like the following,

#+Title: Conditional export

* Conditional Export Test
Here's a tree, exported to both html and pdf.

#+name: rnorm
#+headers: :exports results
#+headers: :results graphics
#+begin_src R :file (by-backend (latex "rnorm.pdf") (t "rnorm.png"))
  plot(rnorm(100), rnorm(100))
#+end_src

#+Caption: Normal random data.
#+RESULTS: rnorm
[[file:rnorm.png]]

* COMMENT setup
This function could be added to the user's =.emacs= init file.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent
  (setq org-babel-latex-htlatex "htlatex")
  (defmacro by-backend (&rest body)
    `(case (if (boundp 'backend) (org-export-backend-name backend) nil) ,@body))
#+end_src
