General ⇒ How to Crop Pictures in Latex

[pankaj]

Hi All,

Anyone got any idea on how to crop images in Latex?

Thanks in advance

Hi pankaj,

when including images by \includegraphics there are optional parameters concerning viewport and cropping, see Documentation of the Graphics bundle 4.4 Including Graphics Files.
Btw. I've sometimes used the tool pdfcrop to crop pdf files externally before including them.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for referring to those pages. Will go through them soon.

btw i came across following commands for cropping an image at a site http://web.reed.edu/cis/help/latex/Graphics.html

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\begin{centering}
\caption{A Figure}
\includegraphics[clip=true, viewport=.0in .0in 1in 1in]{figure}
\label{subd3}
\end{centering}
\end{figure}

When i compile using these, i get an error like

! Package keyval Error: p undefined.

Anyidea on this?

n yeah pdfcrop seems to be an interesting thing.

Thanks
Pankaj

Hi Pankaj,

this code works for me. Perhaps the problem is caused by other code - could you show a complete example that produces this error?
