Setting width of babel-generated image in LaTeX export?

Setting width of babel-generated image in LaTeX export?

[Michael Gauland]

I'm having trouble specifying the width of an image I export to LaTeX (with
either the new or old exporter). The snippet below demonstrates my problem. It
uses plantuml to generate an image file, using ATTR_LaTeX to specify the width.
When exported, the .tex file specifies the default width (.9\linewidth) for the
first image; the second image correctly specifies a width of 4cm.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?
Thanks,
Mike

* Snippet
  #+ATTR_LaTeX[width=3cm]:
  #+BEGIN_SRC plantuml :file test-output.png
  FirstState: A Really Wide State To Make The Image Wider Than The Text
  SecondState: Another Really Wide State To Make The Image Wider Than The Text
  FirstState -right-> SecondState
  #+END_SRC

  #+RESULTS:
  [[file:test-output.png]]


  #+ATTR_LaTeX: width=4cm
  [[file:test-output.png]]

Try:

#+ATTR_LaTeX: width=3cm

Aloha Mike,

Perhaps #+ATTR_LaTeX: width=3cm will work?  I don't believe the square
brackets following #+ATTR_LaTeX in your initial image are correct.

Here is how I've been generating figures for LaTeX export using the new
exporter:

#+name: fundamental-model
#+header: :exports results
#+header: :file fundamental-model.pdf
#+BEGIN_SRC dot
  graph G
        { 
        graph [margin="0.01"];
          d [label = "Dated event", shape ="box"];
          t [label = "Target event"];
          d -- t [label = "Association", dir = "both", len = 2];
          {rank=same; d t;}
          }
#+END_SRC          

#+CAPTION[The fundamental relationship of a chronological model]: 
#+CAPTION: The fundamental relationship of a chronological model based on radiometric dating.
#+ATTR_LaTeX: width=232pt
#+NAME: fig:fundamental
#+RESULTS: fundamental-model
[[file:fundamental-model.pdf]]

Naming the results lets me cross reference, e.g.,

These two types of events are often referred to as the dated
event and the target event, respectively (fig. [[fig:fundamental]]).

hth,
Tom

Thanks--that's just what I was looking for.
