Topic: Determining size of graphics file for Latex (1 of 3), Read 16 times, 1 File Attachment Conf: VEDIT Macro Library From: Fritz Heberlein Date: Saturday, November 01, 2003 03:29 PM I have put together a little macro to determine the bounding box of a graphics file as expected by the LaTeX "graphicx" bundle. The graphics size info is supplied by the well known freeware viewer Irfanview (www.irfanview.com) and then inserted into the bounding box section of the command \includegraphics[bb]{file_name}. The file selector code is stolen from compare.vdm (thanks to whoever it has written!). Fritz

This can be done with Vedit, without using external programs. An example of this can be found in the macro HTML_img.vdm in the HTML tools section of my web site: http://koti.mbnet.fi/pkl/vedit/html.htm#img HTML_img.vdm reads dimensions from JPG, GIF and PNG files. -- Pauli

Topic: Determining size of graphics file for Latex (3 of 3), Read 9 times, 1 File Attachment Conf: VEDIT Macro Library From: Fritz Heberlein Date: Sunday, March 07, 2004 11:30 AM Here is another version, which checks for file extension first. If the graphics file is EPS, it does nothing but insert the appropriate \include... command. Any other graphics file is checked for its bounding box and the value is filled in after the include command. For this i use ebb.exe, which is part of the dvipdfm bundle, which in turn is part of every standard TeX distribution. So, no external program is needed any more. Fritz
