Great. Thanks, Phi.

Many thanks for your suggestion, Phi.

In fact, I can make your code much simpler and have it still work:
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{report}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\def\uptext#1{\rotatebox[origin=c]{90}{#1}}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\begin{tabular}{m{11pt}m{0.8\linewidth}}
\uptext{This ...

Hi all

I'd like to have vertical text down the side of a figure vertically centred. Here is a MWE of the problem:

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{report}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\begin{tabular}{cc}
\rotatebox{90}{This should be centred vertically} &
\framebox[0.8 ...

I think that a redefinition of the cases environment is not really needed. I agree. However, that solution requires code before every instance of the cases environment. I wanted a solution that wouldn't need me to do that, so that if you change your mind, or want a different stretch factor, you don ...

Hi all

I'm posting a solution to a problem I had because I couldn't find the exact solution on the web, but managed to work it out myself from a similar solution posted on these boards for the quotation environment.

If you're writing a document with double spacing you will find that when you use ...

Juanjo, that is immensely helpful, and just what I wanted. Thank you so much. It works brilliantly.

For completeness, I include the much less elegant hack I had just managed to work out before I read yours:

\newlength{\trimllx}
\newlength{\trimlly}
\newlength{\trimurx}
\newlength{\trimury ...

The unit px is not a valid unit for LaTeX. You can try first to omit the units in your new command \trimvals . The values will be given the unit bp (Big Point) internally. Thanks. However, I still get the same results with no units as with px - i.e. the crop/zoom works as expected without the macro ...

Hi all

Sometimes I want a figure which zooms in on a certain region of an image. I do this by:

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[height=\textwidth,clip,trim=24px 86px 146px 57px]{imname}
\caption{A zoom}
\end{figure}

This works fine. Often I'll want to repeat the zoom (i.e. use the same values for ...

Me too!

Thanks, all.

I'll take that as a definitive answer. Many thanks for your help, Ted.
