General ⇒ Automatic scaling of images

[Guy007]

I am using MikTex, and I am inserting images as follows:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[htp]
\centering
\includegraphics{fig.jpg}
\caption{my caption}
\label{F_fig}
\end{figure}

Then i convert directly to PDF

Problem is that if the jpg is wider than the "printable" area of the page (i.e. A4 sheet less the left and right margins), the image continues in the page margin, which is obviously not good for me...

i know you can manually scale the images using [scale=0.5], but is there some automated way to have images scaled to the correct size, if they are too wide?

thanks

I already gave you responses to your request in another forum [1]. As a matter of fairness, I would appreciate if you would have mentioned that.
