Re: [O] Float placement in org-latex
org-export-latex-image-default-option is just what I'm looking for, I think. I figured making all the images smaller would do it, I just didn't know if there was a way to do that without putting a #+ATTR_LATEX on every image or something. Thanks!
[O] Float placement in org-latex
Just a quick question for someone new to and quickly becoming enamored with org-latex-export. I'm encountering a problem with my floats. Namely, I have a section with not much text and several floats, it's probably about a page worth of actual text and 7-10 gnuplot-generated graph images. I have the gnuplot code inline in the text and the images are included from the #+RESULTS. My problem is that LaTeX keeps pushing them farther down the page until some of them are at the end, after the appendices. Is there a way I can maybe shrink the images to make them fit or force it to render them inline even if it leaves some blank space on the page? I wouldn't mind making them all quite small and having text flow around them but I'd rather not have to put in these settings for each and every graph. Can I do this as a default setting for all of them? Is there a set of best practices for this kind of thing? Sorry if this is a beginner question, but I haven't had much luck searching.

I think the variable you might want is org-export-latex-image-default-option, which you can set in your .emacs, or on a per-file basis, see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2010-02/msg00355.html. The problem you're describing with floats collecting at the end of a document is a fact of life in LaTeX, and is often caused by one too-large image. One way is to set a smaller size for the image, and another is to ensure that [p] is one of the letters in the placement attribute--this lets a float appear on its own page. hth, Tom -- Thomas S.

Maybe you want to check the placeins package if they are pushed to far away. Further there's placement options h, H, p that may be of interest to you. You can access graphicx options using #+ATTR_LATEX as described in the manual: (info (org) LaTeX specific attributes) Hope it helps, Rasmus -- Together we will make the possible totay impossible!
