My second
question may be more of a suggestion if the feature is not available.
I currently use the testpos package in latex to position my figures in
beamer. Is there a native org method to specify figure location in
org-beamer? If not, it could be a nice feature for those preparing
presentations in org especially if it had the option to specify
quadrant location and relative size in a simple manner. Thanks again,
Well, you can use latex directly in org, either with
#+begin_latex
\textpos{...}
#+end_latex
or with
#+latex: \textpos{...}

Hi Derek,
In addition to Eric's response, if you wanted to have, say, text on the left
side of the beamer frame and an image on the right, you can use beamer
columns:
#+begin_src org
** Why do we
care?
*** block

:BEAMER_env:
ignoreheading
:BEAMER_col:

./images/jim_diagram2.png
\\ \tiny \flushright Lattimer, J.M., \textit{ApSS}, \textbf{308}, 371 (2007)

You can enter in the =:PROPERTIES: yourself, or you can hit =C-c C-b= on the
line containing the particular block and select it as a column. You can
find more information here:

[Orgmode] Beamer export questions/suggestions
Before I get to my questions, I would like to commend all those involved in the development of org-mode. I'm a new user and I've been amazed by the features, utility, and the support/documentation provided. My first question relates to frames in beamer export. Is it possible to set a tag or otherwise indicate that a frame should appear without a title, or as an empty frame (no header or footer)? My second question may be more of a suggestion if the feature is not available. I currently use the testpos package in latex to position my figures in beamer. Is there a native org method to specify figure location in org-beamer? If not, it could be a nice feature for those preparing presentations in org especially if it had the option to specify quadrant location and relative size in a simple manner.

[Orgmode] beamer export question
I have been outlining a beamer presentation using BEAMER_FRAME_LEVEL: 0 so that I could have some flexibility in deciding what is and isn't a frame. I had a piece of my outline where there's a lot of detail, so the slides are at level 4 (). I was disappointed to find that the level 3 heading above the level 4 frames /also/ got turned into a frame, although it was not flagged as one. Is there some way to make the exporter turn this level three headline into a subsubsection, instead of emitting a bogus frame? Or should I just tag it as noexport? thanks! r ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

After a few days of frustrated searching through the manual and tutorials, and this list, for any clues, I found some advice to run something like /usr/bin/emacs -Q -l test.el with a series of versions of test.el progressively approximating my .emacs file. I was expecting the problem to lie in one of my org- or latex-specific settings, but eventually found the cause of the problem to be that the variable case-fold-search was being set to nil (its default value) as one of my custom-set- variables. I don't remember why. Anyway, according to the information from C-h v, this makes the setting buffer-local, and for some reason that fouled up the beamer export. When I commented out that line, everything worked as advertised. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who could shed light on why that might be. Well, apparently Org does do a search that relies on case-fold-search being t. Normally when this is the case I try to set this explicitly to t during the function call. Can you make a minimal example with your setup and a small file which reproduced the error? - Carsten ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

I've now found the problem and fixed it, but it was (to my mind) something pretty obscure, and I think it might be of interest to the list, at least as a salutary tale. When I opened an org file such as the example beamer presentation from the manual (section 12.6.6) and executed C-c C-e d, it kept generating a .tex file with an article document class, instead of the expected beamer class.

Could pu pull the latest version and then try again *with your original setup*? Thanks! - Carsten ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
