Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Vertical and horizontal centering of full size image

[Pintu]

Hi,

Thanks to this Forum I have solved a whole bunch of problems, but I am unable to do one thing: I need to place a large figure on a page, nothing else. Because the Figure is larger then the text area I want to center it horizontally and vertically.

Here is an example how I've trying to achieve this. It is quite ugly and I don't think that the figure vertical center is perfect. Because I am using this command very often I am looking for something easier.

Thanks,
Pintu

I have two questions.

• Which file format has the image file?
• Is the table so complex that you can't do it in LaTeX?

Best regards and welcome to the board

Hi,

• The image is a PDF

• I have dozens of tables as vector graphics, converting them to tex would be a lot of work. But anyway, I require this for figures as well.

Thanks,
Pintu

[…] The image is a PDF […]

The pdfpages package could help here.

[Pintu]

pdfpages is not really an option, as I need page numbers on some pages where the figure does not overlap, but I require the figure to be vertically and horizontally centered.

the code that you are looking for?
(note that the package lipsum is only used to produce dummy text and is not part of the solution)

[Pintu]

No, that does not center the graph on the page, just within the text margins.
