The following code gives extra space both on the left under the graphic and on the right under the text. Is there a way to make the split rectangles tight against the larger text or graphic?

This has to do with the way you include the graphics. Here is one out of many ways to fix it: put it in some box. My choice is not special/important.

Hmmm. Thanks, but this begs the question: Why are two levels of extra boxing necessary to make this happen? I tried hbox and mbox but would wouldn't have thought of vcenter in a gajillion years. Some interaction between includegraphics and rectangle split horizontal? I don't think I've ever seen includegraphics behave this way on its own. Thanks for the help!

@sgmoye Sorry, I am in meeting after meeting. vcenter was what I immediately thought of using here, just compare $xincludegraphics[width=2in]example-image-a$ to $xvcenterhboxincludegraphics[width=2in]example-image-a$ . The latter is the standard trick of vertically centering things in an equation. So my thought was to try it and it worked. Need to rush to the next meeting, will explain more later.

Thank you -- that also didn't occur to me at all. But why is all this necessary? What is the underlying mechanism that causes the extra space? I'd like to be aware of the mechanics so that I can avoid a similar conundrum in the future. Thanks again. I've learned something and that's always nice...

In case you could accept text box and not a TikZ node, tcolorbox offers a tcbsidebyside box where you can decide which part will adapt to its size while the other uses the available space (textwidth or box width).

Thank you -- that also didn't occur to me at all. But why is all this necessary? What is the underlying mechanism that causes the extra space? I'd like to be aware of the mechanics so that I can avoid a similar conundrum in the future. Thanks again. I've learned something and that's always nice...
