graphicsvertical alignment
I'm writing text with some custom images (symbols) in the text line, I add them using \includegraphics, but the images align with the text at the bottom, which is annoying, since the images are slightly larger than the text. How do I move the image a bit lower, so that the image stops just a bit below the text.
E.G. The diagram $\includegraphics{images/diagram_A}$ is neat.
It would be nice to have in the $ enviroment.

pdfTeX will work with px units, but you have to set these up appropriately using \pdfpxdimen. This is the physical width of one pixel, and has default value of 1 bp, meaning that images initially are assumed to be 72 dpi. \pdfpxdimen is a low-level dimen primitive, and so is best set using \dimexpr:
\pdfpxdimen=\dimexpr 1 in/<dpi>\relax
where <dpi> is the resolution of the image.
With that set correctly, you can then use \includegraphics as normal, adding px to the values used by the trim (or other) key to get the right result.
As an example, consider the two images
and
which have the same pixel size but different resolution. Using the LaTeX file
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\setlength\fboxsep{0 pt}
\pdfpxdimen=\dimexpr 1 in/600\relax
\includegraphics[clip,trim=0 100px 200px 100px]{Figure-a} % 600 dpi
\pdfpxdimen=\dimexpr 1 in/72\relax
\includegraphics[clip,trim=0 100px 200px 100px,scale = 0.12]{Figure-b} % 72 pdi
\end{document}
results in the output file
which shows the result of the trimming - both are the same. (I've scaled the second image so that the two are printed the same size by pdfTeX.)
\def\imagetop#1{\vtop{\null\hbox{#1}}}
\begin{tabular}{c|c}
\emph{Normal} & \emph{Cone} \\
\imagetop{\includegraphics[width=0.39\textwidth]{images/pipe1}}&
\imagetop{\includegraphics[width=0.61\textwidth]{images/pipe1}}
\end{tabular}

You may wrap your
\includegraphics{...}into a\raiseboxEdit:
Or create a newcommand:
