Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ itemize: Vertical Alignement of a figure in item

[pooz]

Hi,

I would like to include a figure in an item list. This figure is very small and functions like an icon beside a keyword. But the figure is not vertically aligned to the item symbol (in this case a standard dash '-'). Instead, the buttom of the figure is on the same vertical position like the dash.

Code: Select all

Audio-example 
\begin{itemize}
  \item \movie[label=s3]{}{sounds/always_700cp_000cf.wav}
        \hyperlinkmovie[]{s3}{\includegraphics[width=0.07\textwidth]{figures/sp-b.png} Soundsignal_1}          
\end{itemize}     

For simplification one can omit the "\movie" and "\hyperlink" part to just keep the essential "\item \includegraphics" part.

I would be thankful for any help

Check the size of the image and crop it if necessary.

Thank you,

@jun0: Isn´t there a simple solution, without using a minipage?
@Thorsten: Is size-checking and -cropping related to jun0s answer? I guess I didn´t understand you. Wich are the commands for size-checking and -cropping?

Isn´t there a option/command to let figures be centered vertically, so that the items dash-symbol is "points to" the pictures middle point.

Not really. You can check whether your picture has white margins with a picture viewer like IrfanView. As far as I remember this program also allows to crop the image. But every common image manipulation software like Gimp can to this, too.

Hi pooz,

have you tried to manually change the vertical position using, for example, a \raisebox command?

Thank you gmedina,

this works like a charm! Great!

May I ask which benefits/differences the other mentioned methods have?
