They permit the inclusion of bitmap and PDF -graphics, as does <a href="FAQ-pdftexgraphics.html">PDFTeX</a>, but are also -capable of employing <i>ghostscript</i> “on the fly” so as to be -able to permit the inclusion of encapsulated PostScript (<code>.eps</code>) -files by translating them to PDF. In this way, they combine the good -qualities of <i>dvips</i> and of PDFTeX as a means of -processing illustrated documents. -<p/>Unfortunately, “ordinary” LaTeX can’t deduce the bounding box of -a binary bitmap file (such as JPEG or PNG), so you have -to specify the bounding box. This may be done explicitly, in the -document: -<blockquote> -<pre> -\usepackage[dvipdfm]{graphicx} -... -\includegraphics[bb=0 0 540 405]{photo.jpg} -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -It’s usually not obvious what values to give the “<code>bb</code>” key, -but the program <i>ebb</i> will generate a file -containing the information; the above numbers came from an -<i>ebb</i> output file <i>photo.bb</i>: -<blockquote> -<pre> -%%Title: /home/gsm10/photo.jpg -%%Creator: ebb Version 0.5.2 -%%BoundingBox: 0 0 540 405 -%%CreationDate: Mon Mar 8 15:17:47 2004 -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -If such a file is available, you may abbreviate the inclusion -code, above, to read: -<blockquote> -<pre> -\usepackage[dvipdfm]{graphicx} -... -\includegraphics{photo} -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -which makes the operation feel as simple as does including -<code>.eps</code> images in a LaTeX file for processing with -<i>dvips</i>; the <i>graphicx</i> package knows to look for a -<code>.bb</code> file if no bounding box is provided in the -<code>\</code><code>includegraphics</code> command. -<p/>The one place where usage isn’t quite so simple is the need to quote -<i>dvipdfm</i> explicitly, as an option when loading the -<i>graphicx</i> package: if you are using <i>dvips</i>, you -don’t ordinarily need to specify the fact, since the default graphics -configuration file (of most distributions) “guesses” the -<code>dvips</code> option if you’re using TeX. -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>dvipdfm</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/dviware/dvipdfm.zip">dviware/dvipdfm</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/dviware/dvipdfm/">browse the directory</a>) -<dt><tt><i>dvipdfmx</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/dviware/dvipdfmx.zip">dviware/dvipdfmx</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/dviware/dvipdfmx/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/dvipdfmx.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>ebb</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/dviware/dvipdfm.zip">dviware/dvipdfm</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/dviware/dvipdfm/">browse the directory</a>) -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=dvipdfmgraphics">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=dvipdfmgraphics</a> -</body> |
