General ⇒ Figure Scales

[rainz]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my figure scales. Even though I have the exact same figure format some figures gets bigger than others. I am attaching the error file, if you could help that would be great. Thanks in advance!

Hi rainz,

it is unlikely you get a good answer if you don't provide us with more information:how do you include the figures in your document etc... ? Also the log does not show us much besides that you have an error in an eqnarray environment (which should not be used by the way).

Would you please show us a minimal working example (emphasis on minimal) that recreates your issues?

Regards

[rainz]

All of the figures are displayed in the below format:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
\centering
\scalebox{0.40}
        {\includegraphics{C:/YMR.png}}
\caption{YMR}
\label{fig:YMR}
\end{figure}

This is not really helpful as it does not allow us to reproduce your problem. Just a thought: I probably wouldn't use \scalebox but the option of \includegraphics for scaling the image:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \includegraphics[scale=.4]{C:/YMR.png}
  \caption{YMR}
  \label{fig:YMR}
\end{figure}

The documentation of graphicx explains this and other options.

If that doesn't help please follow the link explaining what a minimal working example is and provide one to us.

How can I reproduce the example? there are 3 figures displayed in the below format:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
\centering
\scalebox{0.40}
        {\includegraphics{C:/YMR.png}}
\caption{YMR}
\label{fig:YMR}
\end{figure}
\\
\begin{figure}
\centering
\scalebox{0.40}
        {\includegraphics{C:/YMR2png}}
\caption{YMR2}
\label{fig:YMR2}
\end{figure}
\\
\begin{figure}
\centering
\scalebox{0.40}
        {\includegraphics{C:/YMR3}}
\caption{YMR3}
\label{fig:YMR3}
\end{figure}

Did you even follow the link? A minimal working examaple (MWE) should be ready for copy, paste and compile, that is start with \documentclass, have a proper but short preamble and the document should show the undesired behaviour. In your case it might be that you also need to paste the images as they seem to give you trouble.

I hope this helps.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{buthesis}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{lscape}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{morefloats}	

\begin{document}


Below figures \ref{fig:rainz}, \ref{YMR} and \ref{YMR2} indicate .....
\begin{figure}
\centering
\scalebox{0.40}
        {\includegraphics{C:/rainz.png}}
\caption{rainz}
\label{fig:rainz}
\end{figure}
\\
\begin{figure}
\centering
\scalebox{0.40}
        {\includegraphics{C:/YMR.png}}
\caption{YMR}
\label{fig:YMR}
\end{figure}
\\
\begin{figure}
\centering
\scalebox{0.40}
        {\includegraphics{C:/YMR2.png}}
\caption{YMR2}
\label{fig:YMR2}
\end{figure}

I have two questions still:

1. Could you please post a link to the buthesis style file or attach it here in the forum?
2. Are all of the pictures of the same size? This would mean I could experiment with an arbitrary image file of my own. If not you might need to attach them as well.

Best regards

1. It is a style used in the university. I do not know how to post a link to it. If you could describe me how to find it maybe I could. Sorry I am relatively new to latex
2. All the .png's are of the same size

[cgnieder]

But you must have a buthesis.sty file somewhere on your TeX system, maybe in your project folder. You could attach that one. When you post here below the editor field is a button »Upload attachment«.
