Org-babel results preamble

Org-babel results preamble

[Derek Thomas]

I have found that using org-plot to plot the results output of an
org-babel code block is very useful in prototyping my code.  One minor
annoyance is the need to remove and replace the #+PLOT: header at the
beginning of the results output.  Is it possible to specify a
"preamble" in the source block?  I am looking to produce something
like this:

#+begin_src sh :results wrap
./dtest
#+end_src
#+PLOT: ind:1 deps:(2)
#+results:
#+BEGIN_RESULT

#+END_RESULT
Thanks,

Hi Derek,

If you name your code block, then it should be possible to update
results without any need to replace the lines preceding the results.

For example,

#+source: disk-usage
#+begin_src sh
  df
#+end_src

#+PLOT: title:"Disk Usage" ind:6 deps:(5) type:2d with:histograms set:"yrange [0:100]"
#+results: disk-usage
| Filesystem | 1K-blocks |     Used | Available | Use% | Mounted   | on |
| /dev/sda6  |  28835836 |  8447712 |  18923344 |  31% | /         |    |
| none       |   2997072 |      676 |   2996396 |   1% | /dev      |    |
| none       |   3006056 |        0 |   3006056 |   0% | /dev/shm  |    |

I am slowly going through all the org emails that I have received in the
three weeks I was off.  This was one of them and appears to not have
been answered?

In any case, possibly naming the src block may achieve what you want
because then the results are placed in the same place every time
regardless of where the results block is...  not tested, especially in
the context of plotting mind you.

HTH,

Thanks for the response, naming the src block has been working great so far.
