Re: [O] Switch for exported file types when evaluating code blocks

[Cook, Malcolm]

Hi Nick,  I'm not sure how to use this ctan package in concert with orgmode's 
export to tex->pdf.  

Perhaps there is a way to use orgmode's export filtering capability to swap in 
a up-to-date png when exporting to tex....

Hmmm....

Anyone?

Thx!
