Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ EPS Figure does not resize

[Rodo]

Hi,

I created a figure in visio. After that I printed it with the printer Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS for inclusion in Latex. The resulting EPS figure comes right and can be seen with GSview.

However, the problem comes when including it in Latex. It gives me the warnings "Overfull \hbox" and "Float too large for page by 178.59pt" and it does not appear in the resulting doc. I tried to resize the figure with scale, height and weight options of the \includegraphics command but does not work. Anyone know how to solve this?

This is the code and EPS figure:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure} 	
\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{Figures/csmaca.eps} 
\caption{The CSMA/CA slotted mechanism} 
\label{fig:csmaca}  
\end{figure}

there is a lot of whitespace around the image.
You should crop the image before using ist.

Thanks for this.

I used the PS to EPS option in GSView and it automatically calculated a new boundary box for me. Now I do not see any warnings when compiling and the caption appears in the Postscript output where the figure should be but not the figure itself (I only see a white space) Any ideas?

I have no problem:

Code: Select all

\listfiles
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}

\begin{figure}    
\fbox{\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{/tmp/csmaca}}    
\end{figure}

\end{document}

This is strange. Your example does not work for me. The generated postscript does not show the figure. Although I can see it appear and disappear when I zoom in or out

The code used and the file are attached.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}   
\fbox{\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{csmaca}}   
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Ok, an update..

I saw the same problem at http://programming.itags.org/tex/128579/ and the solution is to convert the file to PS in GSView using epswrite instead of the PS to EPS option. However the maximum resoultion allowed is 300 which decreases a lot the quality of the figure (see it attached)

So I still do not know what to do...

I found a work around that works for me in order to produce a figure from Visio in high quality so it can be embedded in Latex.

1) Visio to pdf using PDF printer
2) PDF export to EPS using Acrobe Pro
3) Automatically resize bounding box using GSView

If anybody has a quicker way please let me know. At least now the figure appears in the postcript produced by Latex and I can resize it using commands without losing quality
