Thank you!  It's so nice to have this working again.  I have a couple of Org 
files where I'm updating data and images a few times a week, and when this broke 
it was a real pain---particularly because everything had worked so well for so 
long.  Now my life is easy again.  I appreciate your work on this and everything 
else, Ihor.

Thanks for reporting this there.  I like how you simplified the bug example with 
the two images, so nothing needs to be generated on the fly.


As a reminder for anyone else having this problem, where updated images don't 
appear, this will refresh them:


M-: (clear-image-cache)

Confirmed!  Just as Jeremie did also.  I'd seen this image-switching behaviour 
before and hadn't been able to recreate it with a simple example, but there it 
is.  "This is very strange," indeed.


I don't know if this is useful, but:

16.  Edit source code back to 300x300
17.  C-c C-c yes
18.  Image disappears
19.  C-c C-x C-v
20.  300x300 image appears (a new one?  or the first one?)
21.  Move the cursor to the image
22.  The now incorrect 500x300 appears while the cursor is on it, same as 15

Sorry, Yes I realised that I hadn't pulled.

I confirm the behaviour with the version

Org mode version 9.6-pre (release_9.5.5-1158-g927621 @
/home/djj/src/org-mode/lisp/)

Not switching on again has been fixed in

You need a newer Org version.

and I get stuck at step 12, Inline display image cannot be switched on
again.

I tried again now, and I am able to reproduce.
This is very strange.

What I did is

1. cd /path/to/org/repo
2. git checkout main
3. make repro
4. M-: (require 'ob-shell)
5. Open the following org file

#+begin_src sh :results graphics file :file /tmp/colour.png
convert -size 300x300 xc:#002b36 /tmp/colour.png
#+end_src

6. Move point to the source block and C-c C-c yes
7. C-c C-x C-v
8. Observe the 300x300 image appearing
9. Edit the source code to 500x300
10. C-c C-c yes
11. Image disappears
12. C-c C-x C-v
13. Observe what appears to be the old 300x300 image
14. Move the cursor to the image
15. Observe the correct 500x300 appearing while the cursor is on it!!

Could you please confirm?

Strange.
I am unable to reproduce the issue on my side (using the earlier bash

What is your Emacs version?


I refreshed the source just now, and it's at commit 183c66be97c:

GNU Emacs 29.0.50 (build 7, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.33, cairo

I reran the convert image command, and the (clear-image-cache) problem is still 
there.  If you generate an image that's 300x300, then change the command so it 
makes a 500x500 image, and rerun the command, a 500x500 image appears right 
away?  Or does after you C-c C-x C-v?  I have to run M-: (clear-image-cache) and 
then the image in the buffer updates to the larger one.

No, it should not.

Huh, strange.  It's always done it for me, at least with R code blocks, as far 
as I can remember.  But back to my original problem!


Here's another angle on it, with images not being refreshed even though they've 
changed.


Setup:  my minimal-init.el from my first email.

File, r.org:

# -

#+begin_src R :results graphics file :file /tmp/plot.png :width 300 :height 300
plot(c(1, 2, 3, 4), c(1, 8, 27, 64))
#+end_src

# -

Steps:

+ C-x C-f (load r.org)
+ C-c C-c (execute R block)
+ answer yes to "Evaluate this?" question
+ #RESULTS appears, but image doesn't show
+ C-c C-x C-v (to see image)
+ look at /tmp/plot.png: it is 300 x 300
+ edit width and height settings so they are each 500 pixels
+ C-c C-c (execute R block again)
+ answer yes to "Evaluate this?" question
+ image disappears
+ C-c C-x C-v (to see image)
+ image is still 300 pixels square! 
+ look at /tmp/plot.png: it is 500 x 500

+ C-x C-s (save file r.org)
+ quit and restart Emacs with minimal init
+ C-x C-f (load r.org)
+ C-c C-x C-v (to see image)
+ image is 500 x 500!

So R is generating a new, larger image, and it's there on disk, but Emacs won't 
show it.


Thanks again,

Bill

No, it should not.
Though it is often requested.

I personally just do it via hook:

(add-hook! 'org-babel-after-execute-hook
  (unless (eq this-command 'org-babel-tangle)
(org-display-inline-images nil nil
   (save-excursion 
(org-back-to-heading-or-point-min t))
   (save-excursion (or (outline-next-heading) 
(point-max))

Maybe one day someone™ can submit a patch ;)

Re: Images generated by R code blocks do not display

[William Denton]

Thanks for looking at this.  You've fixed the org-toggle-inline-images problem, 
but the image generation and display problem is still there for me.


Here's a one-liner shell block that generates an image with Imagemagick, so no 
extra Emacs packages necessary:


# -

#+begin_src sh :results graphics file :file /tmp/colour.png
convert -size 300x300 xc:#002b36 /tmp/colour.png
#+end_src

# -

But the image doesn't appear right away:

+ C-x C-f (load this file)
+ C-c C-c (to execute)
+ Say yes to "Evalute this sh code block on your system?"
+ #RESULTS block appears (good) but image does not show
+ But: C-c C-x C-v does work to toggle image display (fixed!)

This is the simplest way I could think of to generate an image with minimal 
dependencies, so I hope this boils the problem down in a helpful way.  The image 
should appear immediately in the buffer, shouldn't it?



Thanks,

Bill

Images generated by R code blocks do not display

[William Denton]

I have a problem with images made by R code blocks in Org: not being displayed 
or refreshed.  (This has been going on for a while, but I can't remember when it 
started.)  Here's a minimal reproducible example I hope others can check.  It 
requires R on your system and the ESS package.


First, here's my minimal-init.el file:

#- minimal-init.el
  (setq debug-on-error t
debug-on-signal nil
debug-on-quit nil)

  (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "/usr/local/src/org-mode/lisp"))

  (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '(
   (R . t)
   (shell . t)
   ))

  (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/ess-20221121.1627") ;;  
"/usr/local/src/ESS/lisp"
  (require 'ess-r-mode)
# -

For me this runs Org from the source tree (up to date today) and ESS from where 
it was installed (package updated yesterday, as it happens).  Adjust paths as 
necessary.


Next, here is r.org, with one R code block that makes a simple chart:

# - r.org
  #+begin_src R :results graphics file :file /tmp/plot.png :width 300 :height 
300
  plot(c(1, 2, 3, 4), c(1, 8, 27, 64))
  #+end_src
# -

Run Emacs:

$ emacs -Q -l minimal-init.el

In Emacs:

+ C-x C-f (load r.org wherever it is)
+ C-c C-c (to execute the R code)
+ Say yes to "Evaluate this R code block on your system?"
+ #RESULTS block appears (good) but image does not show
+ C-c C-x C-v (to toggle image display)
+ image appears
+ C-c C-c (to execute R code again)
+ Say yes to "Evaluate this R code block on your system?"
+ image disappears
+ C-c C-x C-v says "Inline image display turned off"
+ C-c C-x C-v says "Inline image display turned off" (and so on)

Expected behaviour:  Images should appear when this code block is run or rerun, 
and C-c C-X C-v (org-toggle-inline-images) should toggle the setting, not keep 
it off.


Thanks,

Bill
