Excellent! Adding to the top of my emacs .org file the following allowed it

#+LATEX_HEADER: \graphicspath{{fig/}}
Much better workaround. But still a workaround?
The support for including graphics from other directories in latex
documents doesn’t strike me as robust, and I think the \graphicspath
specification is often needed in such cases. (Though I’m far from an
expert). So I think it is indeed a workaround, but of the usual LaTeX
sort.

Re: [O] how to handle svg files when exporting orgmode to html and pdf?
Hi Aaron,
Can I re-open this thread to discuss two new issues I now experience with
emacs 24.3.1 and orgmode version 8.2.1 in the handling of
svg = tex = pdf ?
Here goes:
1) If the plot has text in it which contains a percent character (%),
then we fail due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/857231
It sounds from
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/719320/comments/3 as though
inkscape makes a deliberate effort to support LaTeX markup in their
pdf+latex output. So it’s not surprising that % is a problem.
It’s unfortunate from the perspective of having a single SVG file that
works in both HTML and LaTeX, but I don’t know if that is an argument
that will cut ice with them. I don’t know what org can/should do to
patch around inkscape’s design decisions.
Indeed! So, I made a suggestion to 'fix' (?) Inkscape here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/719320
Let's see if I get any traction on that!
Certainly the svg LaTeX package could be patched to use inkscape’s pdf
export, instead of the pdf+latex one. This would lose the nice fonts
that running the text through latex nets you, but get rid of the %
annoyances.
2) If the :file is in a sub-directory (for example, `:file
fig/mtcars.svg`), even though both ./fig/mtcars.pdf_tex and
./fig/mtcars.pdf are created, the reference to the .pdf in the
.pdf_tex is not interpreted relative to the subdirectory, but rather
to the parent, and so the .pdf is not found.
Have you looked at the \graphicspath macro from the graphics package?
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=graphicspath. You may
be able to get things to work by adding \graphicspath{{fig/}} (note the
double braces) to your document. \setsvg{svgpath=fig/} from the svg
package may also/additionally be needed.
Excellent! Adding to the top of my emacs .org file the following allowed it to
work.
#+LATEX_HEADER: \graphicspath{{fig/}}
Much better workaround. But still a workaround?
~ Malcolm
Aaron
PS Maybe org should be generating the \includesvg command relative to
the graphicspath or svgpath – I’m not sure. But let us know if setting
those variables works at all, and if so we can think about adding
support to org.

The workaround for (1) is to not use '%' as a label on my plots.
The workaround for (2) is to not put my figures in a './fig/' subdirectory.
I suppose the fix for (1) is to get the inkscape export 'fixed' to (optionally)
escape the labels, and to take the option. Thoughts?
I suppose the fix for (2) is somewhere in the org code. Any takers?
Or, any other fixes suggested?
Thanks!

Thanks for all your help.
I am now satisfied with approach for exporting images to inline html and
inline latex=pdf.
In my hands, the following code block will produce in-line images in html and
be included in exported pdf.
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{svg}
#+begin_src R :results graphics output :exports both :file mtcars.svg
with(mtcars,plot(wt, mpg))

I am using:

(add-to-list 'org-export-filter-link-functions 'my-svg-graphics)
* svg latex package v1.0 2004/11/05
* customize the emacs variable `org-latex-pdf-process` to include
'--shell-escape' (following advice in

other options)
* customize org-export-html-inline-image-extensions to include svg
* upgrade to inkscape version 0.48.+ (which is more recent than our
centOS repos proffered, but, hey) since the --export-latex switch that
svg.sty depends upon is not implemented till this version
* upgrade org-mode version 8.0.7-377 built from git pull yesterday
I think I've covered all the pieces.
I have not explored how/whether any options passed to includegraphics are
interpreted by includesvg.
Now, if I could get .svg images to display inline in my emacs buffer. The
following is not respected, at least in my hands.

When I export to latex as PDF file, I get error PDF file ./test.pdf

Sleuthing, I see the output .tex file includes the following lines:

However, when they get processed, and the includesvg seeks the pdf_tex

Hi,
I am creating .svg files with R source blocks and ESS in org.
I am happily viewing them in-line in my emacs buffer.
I am happily exporting as html and viewing them in-line in the resulting web
page, including a table of images.
I do not have an approach for including them into PDF when I export-tex-pdf.
I'm thinking there might be an approach to converting them on-the-fly to png
(or something) during the export-tex-pdf.
A similar problem was addressed with custom macros here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/56532/focus=58322
But it does not work with R source blocks that produce .svg files.
Any suggestions for me? Is this a lost cause? Am I asking for too many
assumptions to be made by such an auto-conversion process that it is doomed
to fail anyway?
I have been using a variant of this workflow with some success. Using a
patch I just pushed to the master branch, you should be able to
successfully export SVG image files to LaTeX documents, using the “svg”
LaTeX package: http://www.ctan.org/pkg/svg
No configuration should be needed on the org side.
The svg LaTeX package is a bit fussy. It only works under pdfTeX (it
can be patched to work with LuaTeX, but cannot work with XeTeX at all).
It also requires you to have the inkscape command line program
installed. But within those constraints it works very nicely.
You may need to arrange for whatever compilation process you use for
LaTeX files to pass the “-shell-escape” command line option to pdftex.
This allows TeX code to execute command line programs, which is needed
to communicate with inkscape and convert the SVG into something LaTeX
can use.
I think in the long run it would be nice if Org could help you translate
the image types in your document into image types an exporter
understands (basically an expanded and generalized version of what is
already done with LaTeX snippets for non-LaTeX export). But that is
a bigger project, I think.

Re: [O] how to handle svg files when exporting orgmode to html and pdf?
Hi Malcom,
It looks like there are two things going on. The first is that you
are (as Nick suspected) including the file twice in the document. You
should change the header of the babel block to output a SVG file:
#+begin_src R :results graphics output :exports both :file mtcars.svg
^^^
Then you don’t need the #+BEGIN/END_LATEX bit.
The other bit is the svg package failing somehow. Does the mtcars.svg
file exist in the same directory? (It isn’t being generated by the
babel block, for example). Is the inkscape binary you installed on your
$PATH? I am suspicious about this line from the log file:
,
| ! LaTeX Error: File `mtcars.zzpdf_tex' not found.
`
The “zz” should not be there. Could a stray “zz” have gotten into the
svg.sty file?
The svg package doesn’t have the greatest error reporting; if
you keep having trouble it may be helpful to add \usepackage{trace} to
the top of the document, and \traceon just before the \includesvg
command, to try to see in more detail what steps it is trying (and
possibly failing). This will generate a voluminous log file...
--
Aaron Ecay
Re: [O] how to handle svg files when exporting orgmode to html and pdf?
Aaron,
Yeah, the zz was added by me whilst sleuthing. Sorry for the
confusion. I added it across the board though. Before I added it, the
message had been 'mtcars.zzpdf_tex' not found.'
I know with org I can directly :export :file basename.svg
The thing I am trying to accomplish is to find an approach that works
for both org export to html and org export to latex-pdf without
having to edit the org document in between exports.
When I do :export :file basename.svg the resulting pdf does not
inline the svg. Rather it contains a link to it.
I thought the dance with the svg package was a way of accomplishing my aim.
Do you see a better way?
Thanks!

This looks wrong. You probably want @@latex:\includesvg{mtcars}@@ in
your org file. In any case, the output in the tex file should be just
\includesvg{mtcars}
Also, not sure how the \includegraphics is produced (are you evaluating a
source block?)
Yes
but it should probably not be there, otherwise you are
going to get two images in your PDF.
I was going to conditionally suppress it depending on value of ox-backend.
If I can get this whole gamish to work for me at all

Re: [O] how to handle svg files when exporting orgmode to html and pdf?
Hi Malcom, There is a patch that was added to the master branch of the org git repository on Jul 27, which turns this from a link into a real inclusion of the image. So, it will only work as intended if you are using a git checkout from after that date. My apologies, I should have made this more prominent in my earlier mails. -- Aaron Ecay
Re: [O] how to handle svg files when exporting orgmode to html and pdf?
Aaron, Thanks for staying with me on this. I'm not sure what you're suggesting. Nonetheless, I just updated org from `git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git` So, now I'm got org-version release_8.0.7-377-gef2d47.dirty. Are you suggesting that with this patch.svg created with exporting graphics :file should now display in the emacs buffer when I toggle display of inline images? I wish they would. They do not, despite my adding svg to org-export-latex-inline-image-extensions. Are you suggesting that such a .svg created by org code block would be appear in the pdf created when I export to latex - pdf? I wish that also... that's what I've been trying to accomplish. Thanks!, Malcolm PS - I see you are/were in PA in linguistics. My first job after my masters in AI from U Mass was at CMU's psych dept as a lisp programmer for John Anderson's intelligent tutoring systems. I then went on in computational linguistics a bit, working on a marcus parser based natural language processing system at wang labs. Ages ago. Now I'm in computational biology. The one commonality through it all?

Re: [O] how to handle svg files when exporting orgmode to html and pdf?
Hi Malcom, 2013ko uztailak 17an, malcolm cook-ek idatzi zuen: Hi, I am creating .svg files with R source blocks and ESS in org. I am happily viewing them in-line in my emacs buffer. I am happily exporting as html and viewing them in-line in the resulting web page, including a table of images. I do not have an approach for including them into PDF when I export-tex-pdf. I'm thinking there might be an approach to converting them on-the-fly to png (or something) during the export-tex-pdf. A similar problem was addressed with custom macros here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/56532/focus=58322 But it does not work with R source blocks that produce .svg files. Any suggestions for me? Is this a lost cause? Am I asking for too many assumptions to be made by such an auto-conversion process that it is doomed to fail anyway? I have been using a variant of this workflow with some success. Using a patch I just pushed to the master branch, you should be able to successfully export SVG image files to LaTeX documents, using the “svg” LaTeX package: http://www.ctan.org/pkg/svg No configuration should be needed on the org side. The svg LaTeX package is a bit fussy. It only works under pdfTeX (it can be patched to work with LuaTeX, but cannot work with XeTeX at all). It also requires you to have the inkscape command line program installed. But within those constraints it works very nicely. You may need to arrange for whatever compilation process you use for LaTeX files to pass the “-shell-escape” command line option to pdftex. This allows TeX code to execute command line programs, which is needed to communicate with inkscape and convert the SVG into something LaTeX can use. I think in the long run it would be nice if Org could help you translate the image types in your document into image types an exporter understands (basically an expanded and generalized version of what is already done with LaTeX snippets for non-LaTeX export). But that is a bigger project, I think. -- Aaron Ecay
