[O] Vertically aligning table row contents

2015-01-06 Thread Peter Davis
I'm trying to create a simple two-column table. The left column will 
show images of symbols used in the document, and the right column will 
explain what those images mean. So far, I have


--8---cut here---start-8---

#+MACRO:  p   \includegraphics[scale=.35]{$1}
#+CAPTION: Document Symbols
#+ATTR_LATEX: :align lp{5in} :float nil :border 2 :frame border
| {{{p(./GreenDot.png)}}}  | This symbol indicates that the associated 
item is in a /normal/ or /successful/ state. |
| {{{p(./YellowDots.png)}}} | This symbol denotes a state of /concern/ 
or /potential trouble/ for the associated item.   |
| {{{p(./RedDots.png)}}}   | This symbol indicates that the associated 
item is in a /severely troubled/ or /non-functioning/ state. |


--8---cut here---end---8---


But what I'm getting is:

misaligned table

Is there a way to get both columns centered?

Thank you.

Assuming you mean vertically?



Yes, I did mean vertically. Sorry.

The top three Google hits for align images and text table latex seem
helpful. The first two suggest \raisebox.

Hopefully they help!

Thanks, John. Is there an org-mode way to do this?

Thank you.

 Maybe that's the right track, but the obvious solution doesn't seem to work:

That's it! I'm afraid the original macro definition was taken from an 
earlier response on this list, and I used it without totally 
understanding its details.


Thank you!

 Thanks, John. Is there an org-mode way to do this?


I've not used macros, but could you just add the raisebox code to it?

Like ... \raisebox{0.5\height}{\includegraphics[...]{$1}

instead of the current?

Just a stab in the dark as I'm unfamiliar with you org tackle code and the
latex solution!

John

 Thank you.
