Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Removing excess white space around figures

[Seanshine]

Dear readers,

I am trying to fit in an .eps-formatted figure. However, there is excess white space between text and figure. Current code:

I've also tried to use minipage, which was slightly better, but I did not really understand its use in this setting; and wrapfigure, which does not work with my current template settings.

I've been trying to figure this out for a long time, solutions appreciated!

The white space is already in the original file, see the attached PNG, just converted.

Just cut the white space with a graphics editor, or better: generate the PS file without that white space in the original software. Or use \includegraphics with options such as trim.

Apparently within the original software (R), it is not so easily achieved. Vector formatted files need specific software for editing, and is therefore not that straight forward. Would trim be an option? How does it work?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

It's explained in the graphicx manual, section 4.4 Including Graphics Files, have a look. Let me know (with code) if you try and it doesn't work.
