correctly, the export and babel routes each generate different latex
code. Babel does *not* look at the document wide settings whereas
export does. This is why Eric is suggesting you export the babel code
so that it is interpreted by the latex document that results from
exporting the whole org document. Otherwise, make sure the settings
you want are within the latex source code block?
That makes more sense, though if I export the code into the larger LaTeX document, I'm left where I started, I believe. An 8.5x11 exported PDF with my diagram in the middle of it.
If it's just getting the right code into the babel block, that's helpful to know. Perhaps the easiest way to put it is this: what is the best path to obtain the following:
- a single pdf output of my TikZ diagram, cropped to fit the diagram
- the font used in the TikZ diagram that I desire (preferably from the doc)
Again, my use-case is one in which I have daily notes or a paper with a diagram but also would like to preserve the diagram for reuse. With babel, it appears this should be possible -- I can both export normally and have the graphic in the paper or send the TikZ section alone to export and use the graphic in a presentation or elsewhere.
I wondered about what you said re. putting the settings in the latex source code block, and I was actually fiddling around with that yesterday. My font is simply set like so (present in the examples I posted earlier):
#+latex_header: \usepackage{lmodern}
#+latex_header: \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{cmss}
But I tried putting variations of this in the babel block (without the #+latex_header part, of course) with no success.
These didn't work for me:
#+begin_src latex :file flow-chart.pdf :packages '(("" "tikz")) :border 1em
\usepackage{lmodern}
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{cmss}
or
#+begin_src latex :file flow-chart.pdf :packages '(("" "tikz" "lmodern")) :border 1em
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{cmss}
or
#+begin_src latex :file flow-chart.pdf :packages '(("" "tikz lmodern")) :border 1em
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{cmss}
I haven't found anything at ob-doc-latex covering how to pass package arguments or include LaTeX settings directly in the babel block. My attempts at the renewcommand end up with "cmss" ending up in my TIkZ graphic somewhere...
Thanks for persisting with me!
John
