Arranging images on a LaTeX page?

Arranging images on a LaTeX page?

[Peter Davis]

I can place images in my document, suitably scaled, with constructs like:

#+ATTR_LATEX: :height 4.5cm
[[/path/to/image.jpg]]

However, if I try to put two images side-by-side:

#+ATTR_LATEX: :height 4.5cm
| [[/path/to/image1.jpg]] | [[/path/to/image2.jpg]] |

the height attribute is ignored.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Because the scope of attributes is the element right after them.
Here is scope is the table, not the images.

Not really.  But you can use `org-latex-image-default-height'
for all pictures in your file.

Thanks. I don't think setting an emacs variable is going to work for me. 
Too much manual setting/unsetting. I may give it a try if I get 
desperate though.

Thanks!

This has come up before, and the answer is that it's not currently
possible with just Org. See the following [probably] duplicate
questions:
- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-03/msg01800.html
- https://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg75806.html

There were some suggestions there you might try (e.g. using the LaTeX
subfig package).


Best regards,
John

Thanks, John. I'll take a look.

Meanwhile. for the current need, I'll probaby just compose the images
in Photoshop or GIMP, and place the resulting composite in the
document.

Thanks!

This is not solving your original problem.  But the following might
spare you from some manual work.  It is a simple hack that uses
=imagemagick= to do the side-by-side composition.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Generate some Test Images

#+name: test1
#+begin_src R :results graphics :file test1.png
  plot(1:10, 1:10)
#+end_src

#+results: test1
[[file:test1.png]]

#+name: test2
#+begin_src R :results graphics :file test2.png
  plot(1:100, 1:100)
#+end_src

#+results: test2
[[file:test2.png]]


* Place Images Side by Side

#+name: testsidebyside
#+call: sidebyside(im1=test1(), im2=test2(), outname="test1_test2.png") :results file

#+ATTR_LATEX: :height 4.5cm
#+results: testsidebyside
[[file:test1_test2.png]]



* Function for Side-by-Side Images Using =imagemagick=
#+name: sidebyside
#+begin_src sh :session none :results file replace :var im1="test1.png" :var im2="test2.png" :var outname="test.png"
  convert  "$im1" "$im2" +append "$outname"
  echo "$outname"
#+end_src

Thanks very much, Andreas! This is a real education in what org-mode can do.

For my current needs, the images are different sizes and aspect ratios, so I'm probably better off laying them out by hand.

But I'm definitely saving this example for future reference.

Thanks!
