Re: [Orgmode] Latex export bug? Odd behavior with figures...
Hi John,
Roughly speaking, the larger the floating figure the farther it will
float in LaTeX. If there is a large floating figure at the beginning
of a group of figures, then the later ones will dam up behind it and
get pushed to the back of the document. Often, changing figure size
by a small amount works wonders. I often try 90% first time around,
then adjust for appearance and float placement. This is one of the
last things one does before a final printing (adjusting figure sizes
can help eliminate widows and orphans), so you might want to work
directly on the generated .tex file, rather than try to get it right
at the org-mode stage.
HTH,
Tom

Figures (and tables) are floating environments: latex will place them
at or after the place where they are mentioned in the latex file, at
the first place where it finds space, consistent with the spec ([htb]
above).
You can try this:
#+ATTR_LaTeX: width=12cm placement=[H]
The spacing will probably be awful.
Another way to force the order is to forego the CAPTION: that will
translate the images into \includegraphics without the figure
environment. The spacing might be awful but the order will be
preserved.
There was a discussion about such matters some time ago on the mailing
list (in particular, how CAPTIONS affect output), but I don't remember
the resolution and I'm too tired to go look. Seek and ye shall find.
You can also look in the TeX FAQ,
e.g. http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=figurehere, for
more.
HTH,
Nick

Re: [Orgmode] Latex export bug? Odd behavior with figures...
Thanks everyone -- placement = [H] was exactly what I needed. I went back and saw it in the manual paragraph as [h!]. Also, the mailing list discussion was perfect as well. One suggestion, then... why not just have a nice list of all possible ATTR_LaTeX options? I have killed myself before looking for a simplified list. Maybe even just common ones since perhaps any LaTeX option may be passed? I love this page, for example: http://orgmode.org/manual/Export-options.html It is the holy grail of a simple reference when I need an answer quickly. Why not the same for possible LaTeX attributes for figures and tables? That would be awesome. Thanks again, all.

[Orgmode] Latex export bug? Odd behavior with figures...
Hi,
I've been working on a report and here is the relevant org file section
(edited for brevity and sanitization):
### org file
* Main header
** Sub section
*** Experiment 1
- an unordered list of several points
|a|table|
|with|data|
Notes for experiment 1
blah blah blah
To illustrate the notes, here's a picture:
#+ATTR_LaTeX: width=12cm
#+CAPTION: View of something
[[~/Desktop/Pic1.pdf]]
When I change something, here's a picture of what happens:
#+CAPTION: View of something else
#+ATTR_LaTeX: width=12cm
[[~/Desktop/Pic2.pdf]]
Some further comments on this.
*** Experiment 2
- An unordered list of several points
|a|table|
|with|data|
Notes for experiment 2
- An unordered list of several points
*** Experiment 3
### org file ##
Now, here's the order in the exported pdf:
### latex export order ###
* Main header
** Sub section
*** Experiment 1
- an unordered list of several points
|a|table|
|with|data|
Notes for experiment 1
blah blah blah
To illustrate the notes, here's a picture:
*PICTURE 1 SHOULD BE HERE*
When I change something, here's a picture of what happens:
*PICTURE 2 SHOULD BE HERE*
Some further comments on this.
*PICTURE 1 IS ACTUALLY HERE*
*** Experiment 2
- An unordered list of several points
|a|table|
|with|data|
Notes for experiment 2
- An unordered list of several points
*PICTURE 2 IS ACTUALLY HERE*
*** Experiment 3
### latex order ##
I've inspected the generated .tex file and this shows up where expected in
both picture instances:
\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=12cm]{/home/jwhendy/Desktop/file[1/2].pdf}
\caption{text here}
\end{figure}
I have generated a pdf from the .tex file and the same happens -- I can't
figure out why it's sticking them in places where they are not called for.

Not at all an expert on this, but what if you substitute [!htb] instead of [htb]
in the LaTeX and generate a PDF? Obviously, not an org-mode solution, but does
that do what you want?

Re: [Orgmode] Latex export bug? Odd behavior with figures...
Just looked up what [htb] did and will definitely try that when I'm back at
work tomorrow. Though not identical, I have two other emails out to the
group that would be along these lines were this to be the solution. Namely:
what's the best way to pass particular options to LaTeX from org-mode?
Is there any clean way to pass some option like this with a figure or table
or what have you?
I'll try this tomorrow and post back. Thanks for the help.
