Latex graphics manual

Another great characteristic in a L a T e X document is the ability to automatically generate a list of figures.

This is straightforward. This command only works on captioned figures, since it uses the caption in the table. The example above lists the images in this article. Important Note: When using cross-references your L a T e X project must be compiled twice, otherwise the references, the page references and the table of figures won't work—Overleaf takes care of that for you.

However, that is not necessary, though it is often useful. If the file extension is omitted, LaTeX will search for any supported image format in that directory, and will search for various extensions in the default order which can be modified. This is useful in switching between development and production environments. Thus, if we have two versions of an image, venndiagram. The command above will ensure that if two files are encountered with the same base name but different extensions for example venndiagram.

Once the report has been developed, to use the high-resolution. Improving on the technique described in the previous paragraphs, we can also instruct L a T e X to generate low-resolution. If venndiagram2. The command convert 1 is responsible for the conversion and additional parameters may be passed between convert and 1.

For example - convert -density 1. L a T e X units and legths. About image types in L a T e X. Have you checked our knowledge base? No Search Results. Also offers a rather large help documentation. In this case, the lower left corner of the image is assumed to be at 0,0. The graphicx package gives you many more options. Specify them in a key-value form, as here. The options are read left-to-right.

So the first graphic above is made one inch wide and then rotated, while the second is rotated and then made one inch wide. Thus, unless the graphic is perfectly square, the two will end with different widths and heights. Note that a graphic is placed by LaTeX into a box, which is traditionally referred to as its bounding box distinct from the PostScript BoundingBox described below.

The graphic will be shown so its bounding box is this width. The graphic will be shown so its bounding box is this height. The graphic will be shown so its bounding box has this height plus depth. This differs from the height if the graphic was rotated. For instance, if it has been rotated by then it will have zero height but a large depth.

That is, LaTeX will ensure that neither is the graphic wider than width nor taller than height or totalheight. Factor by which to scale the graphic.

This time the lengths in the brackets separated by an and , are the x-direction radius and the y-direction radius respectively:. This is how we draw an arc. In the final bracket we enter the starting angle, the ending angle and the radius. This time they are separated by colons:. For example, we can edit the circle we drew so that the line is red, thick and dashed:.

Very often when drawing diagrams we will want to draw a grid. We've also specified the colour gray and told it to make the lines very thin. After these arguments we enter the co-ordinates of the bottom-left corner, followed by the keyword grid and then the co-ordinates of the top right-corner:.

Now lets add a shape onto our grid and colour it in. Then in square brackets we enter a colour. Then we just specify a closed shape as we would normally:.
