Array of identical images?

Array of identical images?

[Loris Bennett]

Hi,

For a beamer slide I'd like to have a 2D array of a single PNG-image
(the single image is a desktop computer, the array is intended to
represent a cluster of computers).  I could presumably just create a
LaTeX table and include the image in each cell.

Does anyone know of a better idiom?

Cheers,

Loris

An Org kludge is just to create lots of narrow columns and include the
image multiple times in each column.  It looks a bit ugly in the org
file, but the result is quite pleasing.

This is what I did in a recent (well, 3 years ago now) talk.  I had a 4
column table where each entry in odd numbered rows was an image and the
even numbered rows were captions for the image above each caption.  I
had this line just before the table:

  #+attr_latex: :align p{2.25cm}p{2.25cm}p{2.25cm}p{2.25cm} :font \tiny

The image links were file:xxx.png with no description element.  Worked
perfectly fine.

Of course, an alternative would be to use tikz to loop over x and y and
include the same image at various points to create a single image (as
far as org is concerned)?

Ah yes, tikz had slipped my mind, but that sounds like the right
solution.  I'll probably stick with my kludge in the current case, but
next time I'll do it properly ;-)

Thanks,
