I created a document via Sphinx with the make latexpdf command.
Now I have the problem that LaTeX is setting my picture at the top directly after the text and at the bottom of the image it puts 3 or 4 linebreaks.
Is there a possibility to get 1 space at the top and 1 space at the bottom of the picture without
having to use a \ in the syntax?
My code:
title:
===========
some text
.. image:: screenshots/manage_products.png
some more text
another title:
===========
EDIT: Here a little Screenshot to show you my problem. I also looked into the main documentation of Sphinx (+ Syntax documentation) and found no answer for this problem!
Btw: Ignore the red arrow plz.
You could use the .. figure:: directive to add the extra spacing you would like around your image.
title:
===========
some text
.. figure:: screenshots/manage_products.png
some more text
I like using the figure directive more as well, since you have some additional control elements to your image, such as labeling.
.. figure::
Your figure text here
Wanted to add a narrow line after the image and tried all sorts of combinations and all either did not work or gave a wide line after the image.
Ended up creating a tiny empty.png image and inserted into the page with the following:
.. image:: _static/main.png
:align: center
:scale: 70 %
.. image:: _static/empty.png
.. empty.png image above to add space after main.png image

I'm trying to resize the images in the wiki pages and nothing is working: the images are always presented with 100% width of the page.
I tried with reStructuredText:
.. image:: image.jpeg
:height: 100px
:width: 200px
:scale: 50 %
:alt: alternate text
(and different combinations, ignoring some lines).
Then I also tried
But, again, it doesn't change the size of the presented image.
Any idea?
Bitbucket Server 7.5 includes support for defining the size of images in markdown.
[...]
The syntax which is supported is to specify the height and/or width as "key=value" pairs inside curly braces immediately after the markdown for the image, for example:
{width=50%}
{height=50 width=60}
{height=100}
{width=200px}

I have a series of markdown files that I am turning into slides using Pandoc and the Beamer template. I am creating my own custom Beamer template in order to format those slides.
pandoc --slide-level 2 -fmarkdown-implicit_figures -t beamer --template mytemplate.beamer -o test.pdf *.md
I am struggling with making certain elements look the way I would like them to.
My simplified markdown looks like this:
## Header
Normal Body Text
Specifically, my images are coming out left justified. I can't figure out how to get them to center. If I remove the -fmarkdown-implicit_figures option, then the images are properly centered, but includes captions that I don't want. Adding that flag eliminates the captions but also eliminates the centering.
At the same time, I want the normal body text to be centered as well. So in the above example I would like the text Normal Body Text to be centered. Again, I can't figure out how to do that. I have managed to center other elements (such as the header), but I can't find an appropriate name for the element that represents normal body text.
Can anyone offer a solution to either of these issues?
I found a way to center the images. It may not be the best option, but this seems to work:
\usepackage{letltxmacro}
% Save the meaning of \includegraphics
\LetLtxMacro\latexincludegraphics\includegraphics
% Update the include graphics command to include centering
\renewcommand{\includegraphics}[2][]{%
\centering
\latexincludegraphics[#1]{#2}}
To ensure the normal text was centered, I used the following, again I am unsure if this is the best way:
% Center Text By Default
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\centering
My question in short is: How can you create a boxed text with a label that can be referenced?
Background: I am generating LaTeX output from a Markdown document to be included in a larger LaTeX document. I would like to describe the steps of an algorithm as boxed text with a label that can be referenced. I know how to create a labeled figure and how to create boxed text, but I haven't been able to figure out how to combine the two, i.e. how to label the boxed text as if it was a figure, or how to include the text in a figure (other than converting it to an image, which I'd like to avoid).
An initial "solution": Just putting a the box and an empty figure next to each other (see below) kind of works, except that nothing ensures that the figure label won't float away from the box as I work on the document, since figures are floating objects while text boxes are part of the text, and the two are handled differently by LaTeX. Moreover, you may need to use LaTeX vertical space commands to make it look reasonably good, but it is hard to get it perfect. Is there a simple solution? Thanks!
P.S. I know that I could just switch to LaTeX and figure out a solution there, but here I am looking for a solution in Markdown, possibly making use of some embedded LaTeX commands.
You can see the algorithm in Figure \ref{methods:estimating}.
\fbox{\parbox{5in}{
1. Initialize $b_r=0$ for $r=1..R$ \\
2. For each item $i, i=1..U$, calculate ... \\
3. Re-estimate ... \\
4. Proceed to Step 2 until it converges.
}}
![Estimating ... \label{methods:estimating}]()
It is rendered like this:
You can use one of the packages for writing algorithms. See https://www.sharelatex.com/learn/algorithms.
Wondering if there is an easy way to remove a rectangular slice across the entire width of an image using Gimp, and have the resulting hole closed up automatically. I hope that makes sense. If I select a slice across an image and do "cut", it leaves a blank "hole" there. I want the new top and bottom of the image to join and fill that hole, reducing the image height by the amount sliced out.
Any easy way to do this?
Here is a method that is quick and often does what you want:
Cut out the middle, leaving a transparent "hole".
Click anywhere to remove the selection (so the hole is not selected).
Click Image > Zealous crop .
This is going to remove the middle part. However, if you also have transparency in other parts of the image (like around the edges) it's going to remove that transparency too.
I believe you're asking to do something like cut out the middle of a page, leaving the header and footer and have the blank space removed with the cut action, effectively joining the header and footer together.
To my knowledge, I don't believe so. Even if you cut, or delete, that space is still part of the image even without content.
But, you would be able to highlight the top or bottom (or left or right) of the remaining space and drag it to align with the other side. It's not ideal for repetitive tasks, but should get you through if you only have to do it a few times.
Install Python and the Python Imaging Library. Back in GIMP, select and cut the full-width areas you don't want to transparent, and export the image to test.png. Then use this Python code (works only if complete lines are transparent; will not work properly if there are 100%-transparent pixels anywhere other than on a full-width row)—
from PIL import Image
i = Image.open("test.png")
b = i.tobytes()
b2 = ''.join(b[n:n+4] for n in xrange(0,len(b),4) if ord(b[n+3]))
newHeight = len(b2)/i.width/4
i2 = Image.frombytes('RGBA',(i.width,newHeight),b2)
i2.save("test.png")
Then re-load test.png and verify that the areas you cut have gone.
In gimp 2.8.1 you can easily create a new image from a selection. So if you select a rectangular than do a copy (Ctrl-C) and a past in a new image
Edit -> Paste as -> new image (or Ctrl-Shift-V).
I've got a latex macro that draws a picture using PGF and Tikz according to given parameters. The width of picture drawn depends on these parameters.
PGF automatically calculates the resulting width of any picture drawn so the user does not have to set it explicitly(like for example when using latex build in picture environment).
However I need to know the width of picture that will be drawn. Of cause I could calculate it as the PGF does but this is going to be quite some work(a lot of if statements...). Is there a way to ask PGF what is the width of picture that is to be drawn (some command I expect)? Either inside tikzpicture environment or just after it?
Thanks for help.
What I would probably do is put the tikzpicture environment in a box, and then find the width of the box:
\setbox0=\vbox{\hbox{%
\begin{tikzpicture}
% ...
\end{tizpicture}%
}}
The width of the following picture is {\the\wd0}.
\box0
Note that after you run \box0, the box will be inserted into the document and its contents will be destroyed; you thus need to query the width of the box before you do that. If you want to save the width, you can store it in a dimension register with \dimen0=\wd0; alternatively, you can use \copybox0, which inserts the box but doesn't destroy it (although this might leak memory).
Also, having played with some of this before, I found that using just a \vbox caused the box to always be the full width of the page (which, if you think about it, makes sense); however, using just an \hbox caused the unboxing to fail for some reason (it seemed to be a known pug). Using both like this works, however—I'm using something very much like this to render TikZ pictures to PDF files of precisely the right size.
