As an alternative you could use a table. + easy + orgmode only (should work across backends) - no scaling of images - it is a table for latex (i.e. will appear in list of tables, etc.) Here is a short example for the table approach and an imagemagick-based solution as proposed by Rasmus. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * generate images :noexport: #+name: image1 #+begin_src R :results graphics :file img1.pdf plot(1:10) #+end_src #+results: image1 [[file:img1.pdf]] #+name: image2 #+begin_src R :results graphics :file img2.pdf plot(1:5) #+end_src #+results: image2 [[file:img2.pdf]] * export side-by-side ** table #+caption: stitching side-by-side using tables | [[file:img1.pdf]] | [[file:img2.pdf]] | ** using imagemagick *** function :noexport: #+name: sidebyside #+begin_src sh :session none :results file replace :var im1="im1.png" :var im2="im2.png" :var outname="out.png" convert "$im1" "$im2" +append "$outname" echo "$outname" #+end_src *** test #+name: combinedfig #+call: sidebyside(im1="img1.pdf", im2="img2.pdf") :results file #+caption: stitching side-by-side using imagemagick #+results: combinedfig [[file:out.png]] --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Regards, Andreas
