Org + Images -> Tex -> PDF

Org + Images -> Tex -> PDF

[Manish]

Hello,

I wonder how to add an image (PNG) to an Org file so that it can be
exported to latex and compiled using pdflatex?  I tried adding a link
using "[[./load.png][Server Load]]" but it only shows a link (which
also doesn't seem to work.)

I currently add images to Tex documents like so:

,----
|  \begin{figure}[H]
|    \centering \includegraphics[scale=0.75]{load.png}
|    \caption{Server Load \scriptsize{(Source: RRD)}\label{fig:load}}
|  \end{figure}
`----

Any pointers appreciated.

Hi Manish,


I guess the reason to not include images was, that it would (have)
require(d) the inclusion of special packages:

\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}

which might not be installed (correct me if I'm wrong).
But nowadays I feel this package is installed in each and every
LaTeX installation!? Even Debian switched to texlive.

Anyway, if graphicx is missing, the compilation will fail.

Oh, pardon me, was it picins.sty? That package is not in texlive (and
not in Debian testing anymore, I had to install it by hand).

Hrm, so the only way to do it would be some customizable format string?

Thanks Russel and Sebastian.

I do have graphicx installed but I had two issues:
1. image that I included in org file did not use \includegraphics in
   the tex file.
2. preamble of tex file did not include \usepackage{graphicx}.

So for 1, I am enclosing the image (the whole \includegraphics etc.)
in a BEGIN_LaTeX and END_LaTeX.  And for 2, I am trying to define a
custom class using "org-export-latex-classes" that will include
graphicx and other packages that I use.  I guess the setup will take
some work but then it should be one time setup and I hope not to edit
the tex files much after that and go from org to PDF in one fell
swoop.  I do not enjoy editing tex files.

Another thing I noticed is that a table in org file appears fine in
produced but does not appear in the \listoftables unless wrapped in a
\begin{table}..\end{table}.  Is there an automated/simple way to do
this?

Thanks again,

Yes, I did see your other email.  I did find Russell's email [1] and
have been able to set up almost what I want.  There are a few
outstanding issues though: images still require to be wrapped in a
[BEGIN|END]_LaTeX construct (I'm sure there's a better way), and I
also have to use \begin and \end table wrapped inside
[BEGIN|END]_LaTeX to wrap org tables to make them appear in
\listoftables.  But it's almost there...

Thanks for mentioning your and Russell's setup.

Hi Manish,

it has been a long time, but this does now work, with

    #+CAPTION: Server Load
    [[./load.png]]

Re: Org + Images -> Tex -> PDF

Sorry, this was incomplete.  To exactly duplicate what you had:

   #+CAPTION: Server Load \scriptsize{(Source: RRD)}
   #+ATTR_LaTeX: scale=0.75
   #+LABEL: gif:load
   [[./load.png]]



And you can produce references to the figure with

    [[fig:load][the load plot]]
