Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Stretch Figure in Header

[manojg]

Hi everybody,

I have a large figure, and I want to stretch it beyond margin. I can stretch it in left and right by \advance\leftskip-3cm and \advance\rightskip-3cm. But I could not do it for top by using \advance\topskip-3cm. It does not work. Any other way to do this?

Thanks.

It would increase your chance for qualified answers if you submit a minimal example. This way we can see what you do and test possible solutions without doing random shots.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[h!]
    \begin{center}
         \advance\leftskip-4cm
         \advance\rightskip-2cm
         \resizebox{20cm}{20cm}{\includegraphics{fig}}
     \end{center}
\end{figure}

Above code stretch the figure in left by 4cm and right by 2 cm, beyond margin. I want to stretch in top also. If I put \advance\topskip-5cm, it does not work.

I spent more than an hour googleing about this but I could not find the solution, so I posted here for help.

This is no MWE, thus the problem is still incomprehensible. Please follow the link in my last reply and instructions there. A MWE is a complete document that reproduces the undesired behaviour clearly and not just a useless code snippet. But if you want to have a figure in the header, you should not put it in a float environment.
