Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ object 'scaling'

[Mini]

Hello,

Just wanted to know,

say I had something like this:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!htb]
    \begin{pspicture}(-5,-5)(10,10)
      \psaxes[linewidth=1.2pt, labels=all]{->}(0,0)(-5,-5)(10,10)
      \pscurve[showpoints=true](-5,-5)(1,0.25)(5,9)(10,10)
    \end{pspicture}
\end{figure}

How would I 'scale' this object so I can magnify it or shrink it in proportion as needed?

Thanks

You should always post complete, compiliable examples. No one enjoys guessing what packages you're using.

You could use either \scalebox from graphicx or \psscalebox from pstricks (which you seem already to be using).

For example, to scale to 50% of the original size:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-plot,pst-text}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[!htb]
    \psscalebox{0.5}{%
    \begin{pspicture}(-5,-5)(10,10)
      \psaxes[linewidth=1.2pt, labels=all]{->}(0,0)(-5,-5)(10,10)
      \pscurve[showpoints=true](-5,-5)(1,0.25)(5,9)(10,10)
    \end{pspicture}}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

According to the pstricks manual (Section 4, p. 5 ff) you can explicitly set the unit register to scale your pictures.

Code: Select all

\psset{unit=0.5cm}
