|
|
Hi,
I have problem related to figures:
I have 4 figures (all avvailable as either eps or pdf) and I want to combine those figures into a single figure and into one file (lets say a pdf).
They should be aligned in the following way
a | b
c | d
with a, b, c, d the 4 initial figures. So, each two figures side by side and then above each other.
Does anybody know a tool which can do this? Any hints and suggestions for me?
Cheers. |

well, latex coud do it.
\begin{minipage}
\end{minipage}
example:
\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{minipage}{7.7cm}
\includegraphics[width=7.5cm]{./pathtoyourfigure/figure1}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{7.9cm}
\includegraphics[width=7.9cm]{./same/figure2}
\end{minipage}
\caption{YOUR TITLE} \label{fig:errordlg}
\end{figure}
there is also another tool, I don t remember its name, but it is great for various pics... |

i remember this was a 2x2 box.
you may need \usepackage{subfigure}
but there s something else!!!

o.k. I should say I know how to do it in latex but I want to have a solution that works without latex....
So that I can use the single figure file in latex instead of the 4 files before....
Any other ideas? |

welll....
if you have the final figure in pdf, use IMPORT lastone.eps from the command line and select the area you want to keep, and use this one.
crappy but quick. |

well... i scarcely used it.
it s a really powerful tool.
you may like it and find it easy.
personnaly, I know how to do this quicker with latex... but i m definitely not used with the gimp...
try it, this is not really difficult: it s select rectangle/whatever copy, paste, NEW, paste, save as instructions.
i mean: you could do it with paint... photoshop... gimp... even maybe pdf distiller...
tried openoffice? |

The "convert" program from the ImageMagick package may provide what you need. It works on PNG files, but I've not used it on PDFs.
See the -/+ append options.

convert +append fig1.pdf fig2.pdf tmp1.pdf
convert +append fig3.pdf fig4.pdf tmp2.pdf
convert -append tmp1.pdf tmp2.pdf fig3.pdf
I did a epstopdf to all my eps files before. This removed the extraneous frame around the original eps images. I don't know how to to this with convert...
The problem is then if I use eps files instead of the pdf then they don't fit on a page anymore due to this stupid and senseless white frame....
For some reason the epstopdf function seems to correct for this extra frame but I dont know why and how to mimic this behavior with convert.
Does anybody know? |
