I think you could start by investigating if it would be possible

preview-latex in AucTeX works really well I think. It would be nice to use it in org-mode.
I'm not a lisp programmer. I would be happy to contribute to org-mode but I need support.
Could someone point me in the right direction to start developing such a patch?
Or, if someone more skilled than me would like to pick it up and just do it, that would
be fine with me!
to use preview-LaTeX in a file like an Org-mode file. For this you probably
need to ask on the AUCTeX mailing lists.

Even graphics made in tikz, that does not use postscript commands, do not appear

it is able to view graphics made with pstricks, as it appears to be the case,
then maybe it is better to first investigate how preview-latex is able to do
this before searching for options to pass to dvipng in org-mode.
IMHO it would be even better if it was possible to use the original
preview-latex from AucTeX instead of reinventing the wheel.
:-) I'd be happy to accept a patch!

Thanks for sharing with me! Your setup seems to give a good workflow. Before
starting to use org-mode I worked with my
graphics in emacs using the preview facility in AucTeX. Thus I could develop
my picture and easily update the
preview to see the effect of my last edit.
Since starting to use org-mode I find that I have it open all the time and
would like to include it as much as possible
in my work flow. Many of my pictures share some content and it would be nice
to develop some "templates" that
I can start with when I do my pictures. Pstricks is postscript and usually
do not display in dvi viewers. This is
probably why dvipng doesn't work.
Is there any way I can manipulate org-modes route to a png preview picture?
Best regards,
Johan

From the documentation it seems that org-mode uses dvipng.
[[info:org:LaTeX%20fragments][info:org:LaTeX fragments]]
But I don't know how it behaves with pstricks.
I usually create the graphics in a separated file when I'm working with
latex. It's a complete latex file with the necessary preamble that will be
later turned into comments when I'm finished and want to actually include
the
graphic in my document. (using \input{graphic.tex})
When I'm working on it, Emacs occupies half of my screen (or more) and
evince
occupies the other half. Whenever I compile the document (using pdflatex
since I
use tikz to draw graphics) the pdf is automatically reloaded by evince.
Since I
don't rely on the preview-latex for developing the graphics I don't know if
it
works with tikz. I guess I'll give it a try.
...
I tried with the simple example
,----
| \begin{tikzpicture}
| \draw (0,0) -- (1,1);
| \end{tikzpicture}
`----
and it does not work. Only a little square is show in the Emacs buffer.
Well,
this is expected since the package tikz is not included in the temporary
.tex
file (and neither is pstricks as I could see).
After included the usepackage{tikz} in org-format-latex-header the preview
is
"created". However nothing is show, since the graphic generated by tikz
(and
pstricks) is not present at the DVI stage.
This seems to be a limitation of dvipng and not org-mode.

But is pdflatex also used for rendering the previews in emacs? The most
convenient thing for me would
be to see the preview while I am developing the picture and then as a
last
step export it to my latex document.
Do you this is possible somehow?
Best regards,
Johan

Remember that because pstricks use postscript commands it is necessary
to
take
the long route in latex (latex->DVI->PS->PDF) instead of just using
pdflatex. Therefore, if you put some pstricks code in the org-file and
export to
PDF to see the result then this is the reason, since the exporter seems
to
use
pdflatex to process the generated .tex file (I'm assuming this, since I
don't
see any DVI or PS file created by the exporter).

It seems that I can use any latex package that I want except for the
pstricks ones.
No picture is produced. No error message either. I load the same
packages
and use the same
pstricks code that I have in a regular latex document (on the same
computer)
and
it works in that document.
Any ideas?

Hi all,
I'm using org-mode to write LaTeX snippets that I later (usually)
transfer into a separate latex document.
Can I also write and preview pstricks code in org-mode?
Also, can I do "usepackage(xxx)" someway do use LaTeX extensions?
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{pstricks}
or something along those lines.
