Controlling the size of org babel image outputs in latex

Controlling the size of org babel image outputs in latex

[Ellis Adigvom]

Hi,

I have an org mode document with some embedded PlantUML code blocks. I 
export this file to PDF through latex (C-c C-e l p). I have some 
diagrams which are rather small, but they are expanded to fill the page, 
and this looks awkward in the result.

How can I control the size of the image in the exported file? I've tried 
using:

     #+ATTR_LATEX: :width: 4cm
     #+BEGIN_SRC plantuml :file diagram.png

     ...

     #+END_SRC

But this doesn't have any impact on the output. Can anyone help me with 
this?

Hi Ellis.

This is what I'm using for any images in things that I'm writing in org-mode -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+CAPTION: Bunions
#+ATTR_LATEX: :float wrap :width 0.38\textwidth :placement {R}{0.4\textwidth}
#+LABEL: fig:bunions
[[./images/bunions.jpg]

#+CAPTION: Main bunion sites on females and male bodies
#+ATTR_LATEX: :width 0.6\textwidth :float t :placement [H]
#+LABEL: fig:bunions
[[./images/bunion-sites.png]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The first places the image on the right of the page and allows text to
wrap around it, and the second places the image centred in its space.
Note that the images are all held in a sub-directory of the main
directory called 'images'. You can play with the 'width' dimensions to
achieve the look that you want, I frequently do :)

I don't have any '#+BEGIN_SRC' its just that straight latex code block
inserted where I need it, and org-mode is adult enough to behave I've
found.

Hope this helps?

Sharon.
