Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ fullpagegraphic.sty not found

[DirkT]

Hi, I want to include graphics which use a full page, so I use the command
\usepackage{fullpagegraphic}
..but I get the error message "fullpagegraphic.sty not found"
The package texlive-latex-extra is installed. Who can help?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Hi Dirk,

you need to install that package. I assume it's not in TeX Live and not in Debian packages, as it's not even on CTAN. However, you could download it from github and save it in the same folder as your document (or install it properly).

Hi Stefan,
thank you very much, I put the fullpagegraphic.sty in the same directory as my .tex file and, in principle, it works. The only thing I had to do was to change

Code: Select all

width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight

in

Code: Select all

width=0.65\paperwidth,height=0.65\paperheight

to get the right and lower margin as in my text pages.

One question: What do you mean with "install it properly"?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

What do you mean with "install it properly"?

This means copying into the TeX user directory or the directory of the TeX installation and refreshing the TeX file name database so it is able to find it. This depends on the TeX installation (TeX Live, MiKTeX, MacTeX, Linux versions) so it needs time to explain and is system specific. It was easier to put that file into your document folder. Anyway, it's a simple small file with a few lines.

What should I do to shift the picture inserted with

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
 \includegraphicsfullpage{picture.jpg}
\end{figure}

by a certain length, e.g. 5mm, to the right?

[Johannes_B]

You can put \hspace{5mm} before it, but this is manual labour. I bet there is a reason for doing this, define a new command \imgshift to do the job.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{showframe}
\newcommand{\imgshift}{\hspace{5mm}}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\imgshift\includegraphics[width=.6\linewidth]{example-image}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

But that should be a new thread, we have enough space for millions of different threads.

[DirkT]

Thank you Johannes, the \hspace command is the easiest way for me.
The line in my fullpagegraphic.sty is now

Code: Select all

 \hspace{6mm}\includegraphics[width=0.65\paperwidth,height=0.65\paperheight]{#1}

I don't recommend changing a package file, no matter how simple it would be.
