org-sliced-images

This package displays org-mode inline images in a sliced manner, like the built-in insert-sliced-image. This improves the image scrolling experience.

Installation

Get me on MELPA! use-package example:

(use-package org-sliced-images
  :ensure t
  :config (org-sliced-images-mode))

Usage

Use the global minor mode org-sliced-images-mode to enable sliced images. The mode advises the following functions:

• org-remove-inline-images
• org-toggle-inline-images
• org-display-inline-images

Concerning BEG and END arguments to the some of the functions, the beginning of the link to the image is the point considered.

Customization

• org-sliced-images-consume-dummies Dummy lines are used to support slice overlays. If non-nil, lines matching dummy lines coming directly after a link will be overlaid, instead of adding new ones.
• org-sliced-images-round-image-height If non-nil, round the height of images to be a multiple of the font height. This should be used with things like org-indent-mode or line numbering that add prefixes to slice lines, or else you will typically have a visible gap above the final slice.

Comparisons

Here's how this package compares to other attempts to make image scrolling nice.

• iscroll: iscroll works by making you rebind your movement keys to a function that calculates and adds a vertical scroll. org-sliced-images works by inserting images as slices when they are toggled; you can then move over these slices however you want, resulting in a faster and more "native" experience.
• pixel-scroll -based methods: These only work with the mouse wheel and are very resource intensive.
