images in orgmode

images in orgmode

[Erwin Panen]

Hi all,

I'm finally trying out image support for Orgmode.
I've set up .emacs ((23.1.1 windows)according to 
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-configs/org-config-examples.php
After some slight modifications it seems to work.

I created a test.org file like this:
---------------begin test file--------
* Let's add a headline
* And a secong one
** Now a secondary level one
    [[~/images/scenario_27.png]]
    Try another one
    [[~/images/scenario_27.jpg]]

** Yes!! This works!!
** Now let's try this:
    `images/scenario_27.png´
--------------end test file-----------

Question:
When I click on one of the links between [ ] square brackets, my window 
splits in half, and in the bottom half the image appears.
Looking at iimage here: 
http://www.netlaputa.ne.jp/~kose/Emacs/iimage.html#4.+Key+bin
It should be possible to visualize these images inline with the text 
instead of a separate window.

What needs to be done to achieve this? Any pointer to a concise tutorial?.

Thanks for your precious help,

Erwin

This works really well. From Eric Schulte's Emacs Starter Kit[fn:1]
Use M-x org-toggle-iimage-in-org to toggle links to images into the
images themselves. (Maybe this should also go on Worg hacks?)

** Support for viewing images
This allows for the viewing of images in-line in Org-mode documents.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (require 'iimage)
  (setq iimage-mode-image-search-path (expand-file-name "~/"))
  ;; Match org file: links
  (add-to-list 'iimage-mode-image-regex-alist
               (cons (concat "\\[\\[file:\\(~?" iimage-mode-image-filename-regex
                             "\\)\\]")  1))
  (defun org-toggle-iimage-in-org ()
    (interactive)
    (let ((turning-on (not iimage-mode)))
      (set-face-underline-p 'org-link (not turning-on))
      (iimage-mode (or turning-on 0))))
#+end_src

Download the source of iimage.el from the page above, and save it into some
file, say ~/iimage.el.

Then load the file:

     M-x load-file <RET> ~/iimage.el <RET>

Then visit your file and turn on iimage-mode:

    M-x iimage-mode

To turn off iimage-mode, give it a negative argument:

   ESC - M-x iimage-mode

HTH,
Nick
