#+include vs. resizing & centrering

#+include vs. resizing & centrering

Dear all,

Thanks for org-mode, it is so perfect :)

I'm currently fighting with a problem that I cannot find a solution to (either on my own or with help on the web). If someone could help me, I would be very thankful.

I have an org-mode file that "includes" ane xternally generated image, like so:

#+INCLUDE: ./test.dot src dot :file test.png

The thing is the resulting image is too big. So I want to resize it.

I've tried several things that did not work:
- add #+ATTR_LATEX: :width xxx before the #+INCLUDE
- add :width xxx or :scale xxx on the #+INCLUDE line itself
- ...

Thus I resolved to use plain LaTeX code with something like:
#+LATEX: \center \scalebox{.85}{%
#+INCLUDE: ./test.dot src dot :file test.png
#+LATEX: }

Then the problem is that #+INCLUDE adds a \begin{center}\end{center} around the image inclusion, and \scalebox{} does not like that, making the resulting .tex file not compile ("perhaps missing \item").

Again, I've tried several unsuccessful things :
- add #+ATTR_LATEX: :center nil before the #+INCLUDE
- add :center nil on the #+INCLUDE line itself
- ...

If anyone has an idea how a can solve the problem of resizing a #+INCLUDE'd image, either in plain org or with a LaTeX "warkaround", I would be very grateful.

Thanks !

Sorry, I finally found a solution by myself :)

Using a minipage instead of a scalebox tolerates the \begin{center} that is automatically inserted:

#+LATEX: \center \begin{minipage}[c]{.85\textwidth}
#+INCLUDE: ./test.dot src dot :file test.png
#+LATEX: \end{minipage}

However, if someone has a pure/clean org-mode solution, I would love to learn it :)
