Images in org-mode

Images in org-mode

[Colin Baxter]

I seem to remember that the option

#+ATTR_ORG: :width 100

could scale the display of an image in an org-mode file. This no longer
works - perhaps it never did. How should I scale an image display in an
org-mode file (not exported)?

Best wishes,

Colin Baxter.

Maybe there are other options, but I think the canonical way is to use the
variable `org-image-actual-width’. The help mentions some ATTR_XXX options, so
you may find more answers there!

Check the value set for org-image-actual-width. Mine defaulted to t, so I changed it. There is some documentation if you use:
C-h v org-image-actual-width

Yes, org-image-actual-width is the variable I need. It was set to 't'
and I've now changed to a number. With the #+ATTR setting it works as
per the documentation.

I should have gone through the list of variables more carefully before
posting. Thanks you all for your help.

Best wishes,

Colin.

You have not specified version of Org. E.g. the outcome of the following 
thread is likely not included into the release version:

Matt Huszagh. [PATCH] Fix regex for determining image width from 
attribute. Sun, 21 Nov 2021 11:08:54 -0800. 
https://list.orgmode.org/87czmtuy0p.fsf@gmail.com

See also the docstring for `org-display-inline-image--width'

Did it get merged? There are several patches proposed in that thread,
but I do not see them being actually merged upstream.

Mmm, that thread ends with me proposing a specific approach and Matt saying it
sounds good (<https://list.orgmode.org/871r2ucuhz.fsf@gmail.com>, quoted below),
but from there no further patches are provided (unless I missed something).

      Yep, sounds good.

All the best,

Reading through the linked email, I have a feeling that Matt expected you
to provide further feedback:

May you followup on his query?
