I am trying to create the following (type of) code with PyLatex:
{ \centering \includegraphics{image.png} \includegraphics{image.png}}
I am not able to 'group' the \centering
command with the curly brackets around the \includegraphics
; if I define a new Environment, I always end up with \begin
and \end
which add spacing.
So, do you know how I can nicely add the curly brackets with the \centering
command around a snippet of code like \includegrahics
?
To me, the most elegant solution would be something like:
with doc.centering(): doc.append('Some text.') append(StandAloneGraphic(image)) append(StandAloneGraphic(image2))
How can I define such '''with doc.centering()''' command? Of course, I can hard code this every time, but I want my code to be readable so it would be nice if I could write a nice function for this problem.
I posted this question earlier om Stack Exchange (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/490429/pylatex-how-to-apply-centering-x-around-graphic/490442), but over there I got the advice to post here because it is more of a Python programming problem than a PyLatex challenge.
Update: I would like to put teh code below in a nice with.group():
statement:
import pylatex as pldoc = pl.Document()doc.preamble.append(pl.Package('showframe'))doc.append(pl.NoEscape('{'))doc.append(pl.Command('centering'))doc.append(pl.StandAloneGraphic('example-image',image_options='width=5cm'))doc.append(pl.Command('par'))doc.append(pl.NoEscape('}'))doc.generate_tex('pylatexdemo')
This piece of code creates the correct output, but is not really readable. I would imagine such solution (but I don't know how to program it); the definition of the group
-function is incorrect. My question is: how to implement such group
-function?
import pylatex as pldoc = pl.Document()doc.preamble.append(pl.Package('showframe'))def group(content): doc.append(pl.NoEscape('{')) doc.append(content) doc.append(pl.Command('par')) doc.append(pl.NoEscape('}'))with doc.group(): doc.append(pl.Command('centering')) doc.append(pl.StandAloneGraphic('example-image',image_options='width=5cm'))doc.generate_tex('pylatexdemo')
