Previewing Pictures within Orgmode (without exporting)

Question

It is already possible to preview equations in orgmode using images. For example if I type

$y=2^x$

Then I can preview this equation within the org file itself. My question is it possible to do this with images? So far implementing

$\includegraphics{picture.png}$

doesn't work (I just get a blank box).

Answer 1

You can insert an org link to your picture, with:

 [[file:/path/to/picture.png]]

And from there, C-c C-x C-v will toggle its display in the buffer, as mentionned here.

You can configure the variable org-startup-with-inline-images for startup behaviour.
