Here is the simplest example I can come up with. I changed the four figures to text. Note that in comments, I show where I can add \end{columns} and \begin{columns} to the org-generated .tex files, and I get what I want, a 2x2 set of figures.
(START OF ORG FILE) #+LATEX_CLASS: beamer #+LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [t] #+BEAMER_THEME: Frankfurt #+OPTIONS: H:2 toc:nil num:t * Introduction ** Overview *** :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_col: 0.5 :END: #+LaTeX: \centering Figure 1 (top/left) Text instead of figure Text instead of figure Text instead of figure Text instead of figure Text instead of figure Text instead of figure #+LaTeX: \vspace{0.1in} *** :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_col: 0.5 :END: #+LaTeX: \centering Figure 2 (top/right) Text instead of figure # If I put: \end{columns} # and put : \begin{columns} # here in the .tex output from org-mode, I get a 2x2 set of figures *** :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_col: 0.5 :END: #+LaTeX: \centering Figure 3 (bottom/left) Text instead of figure *** :PROPERTIES: :BEAMER_col: 0.5 :END: #+LaTeX: \centering Figure 4 (bottom/right) Text instead of figure (END OF ORG FILE) Thank you!!
