[Tex/LaTex] Emacs Org-mode ignores #+ATTR_LATEX

Question

I use beamer org-mode 8.2.10 to produce presentations.

In the following the width attribute (here 0.45) gets just ignored and replaced by 0.9

#+ATTR_LATEX: :width=0.45\linewidth
 [[file:/osx.png]]                                                         

which produces

\includegraphics[width=.9\linewidth]{osx.png} 

My work around is using this code instead:

#+latex:\includegraphics[width=.45\linewidth]{osx.png}  

which gives

\includegraphics[width=.45\linewidth]{osx.png}

So what went wrong here in the first variation? Is that some bug or am I missing something fundamental?

Answer 1

To fix this, use space (' ') instead of '='. For e.g.,

#+ATTR_LATEX: :width 0.45\linewidth
 [[file:/osx.png]]
