I apologize for the sudden flurry of postings, but I am finding some great solutions within Org.
I have very happily managed to find the more recent references to babel latex and tikz figures with the imagemagick conversion, and this works absolutely beautifully within the Org mode buffer. I have not been successful in exporting the image (html or odt) however. I can export it if I create a link to the generated png image, rather than leaving it to the results section like I can with latex. Here is an example: Working R: #+name: fig:bplotil8staph #+headers: :results graphics :file /somewhereelse/bplotil8staph.png #+begin_src R bwplot(il.8 ~ impression,....) #+end_src #+CAPTION: Plot demonstrating significantly increased IL-8 levels during /S. aureus/ pneumonia as compared to colonization. #+RESULTS: bplotil8staph [[file:/somewhereelse/bplotil8staph.png]] Note that this link is generated by the R output and I can see the image along with the caption in both Org buffer and exported files. Not working so well LaTeX: #+name: fig:markovdesc #+headers: :imagemagick yes :iminoptions -density 600 :imoutoptions - geometry 800 #+headers: :file /somewhereelse/plot_markovModel.png :fit yes #+begin_src latex :buffer no :packages '(("" "tikz")) \usetikzlibrary{shadows,arrows,automata,decorations.text,shapes,snakes,fit} \tikzstyle{ball} = [circle,shading=ball,minimum size=1cm] \begin{tikzpicture}[->,>=stealth',shorten >=1pt,auto,node distance=4.2cm] \tikzstyle{everystate}=[draw=black,thick,scale=1,align=center] \node [state,initial,text width=4em,align=center,ball,text=black,ball color=green!70!black,drop shadow] (A) {{\small Post- Transplant State 1}}; \node [state,align=center,text width=4em,ball,text=black,ball color=purple!70,drop shadow] (B) [right of=A] {{\small BOS ~~~State 2}}; \path (A) edge [bend left] node[above] {{\small $\lambda_{12}(t)$ Covariates~$HR_{12}$}} (B); \node[state,align=center,text width=4em,ball,text=black,ball color=blue!50,drop shadow] (C) [below=2.6cm,right=1cm] {{\small Death ~~~State 3}}; \path (A) edge [] node[left] {{\small $\lambda_{13}(t)$ Covariates~$HR_{13}$}} (C); \path (B) edge [] node[right] {{\small $\lambda_{23}(t)$ Covariates~$HR_{23}$}} (C); \end{tikzpicture} #+end_src #+CAPTION: Basic idea of the model demonstrating the transition states. #+RESULTS: fig:markovdesc #+BEGIN_LaTeX [[file:/fitz/Rworkarea/gnr/new_work/staph/plot_markovModel.png]] #+END_LaTeX For the LaTeX there is no image in the exported buffers and the in-text link to the image is not active at all. Things only work for latex tikz in the Org buffer. What am I doing wrong? Or do I need to create a manual link to the file? Thanks so much for suggestions. aric
