[Orgmode] LaTeX export of images

[Francesco Pizzolante]

Hi,

I have a question about the LaTeX export of images.

I wondering why we treat differently images with caption/label than the ones
that do not have caption/label.

I suppose that we want to make the difference between images that appear in
the middle of the text and those who will appear in a float (with possibly
label and caption).


1) Images in the middle of the text

If I have the following example:

    ,----
    | For this example, I will use this image [[myimage.png]] which is a very 
good one.
    `----

Then, when exported, it produces the following LaTeX code:

    ,----
    | For this example, I will the use this image
    | \centerline{\includegraphics{myimage}} which is a very good one.
    `----

Which produces weird layout when compiled to PDF.

In this case, we should just generate \includegraphics{myimage} without the
centerline command.


2) Images in floats

In the case of floats, the correct generated code should be something like:

\begin{figure}[htb]
        \centering
        \includegraphics{myimage}
        \label{LABEL}
        \caption{CAPTION}
\end{figure}

and not

\begin{figure}[htb]
        \centerline{\includegraphics{myimage}}
        \label{LABEL}
        \caption{CAPTION}
\end{figure}

This can also be fixed quickly I think.

Now, the question is: is it correct to identify a "float" image thanks to its
caption and label attributes? Can't we have a "float" image without label or
caption?


Thanks for your help and input.
