In the sections that follow, \textsf{graphicx} image always appears \emph{on the left}, and the \textsf{graphicxsp} image appears \emph{on the right}. \section{The \texttt{width}/\texttt{height}/\texttt{scale} options} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=1.5in]{graphics/AdobeDon} \insertEPS[width=1.5in]{AdobeDon}\\[1ex] \texttt{width=1.5in} \end{center} \begin{center} \includegraphics[height=1in]{graphics/AdobeDon} \insertEPS[height=1in]{AdobeDon}\\[1ex] \texttt{height=1in} \end{center} \begin{center} \includegraphics[scale=.5]{graphics/AdobeDon} \insertEPS[,scale=.5]{AdobeDon}\\[1ex] \texttt{scale=.5} \end{center} \medskip To my eyes, the \textsf{graphicx} images on the left seems blurrier than the \textsf{graphicxsp} image and don't magnify as well. \section{Comparing \texttt{bb}} \vspace{1in} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=.5in,bb=30 50 150 100]{graphics/AdobeDon}\qquad\qquad \insertEPS[width=.5in,bb=30 50 150 100]{AdobeDon}\\[3ex] \texttt{bb=30 50 150 100} \end{center} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=.5in,bb=30 50 150 100,clip]{graphics/AdobeDon}\qquad\qquad \insertEPS[width=.5in,bb=30 50 150 100,clip]{AdobeDon}\\[1ex] \texttt{bb=30 50 150 100,clip} \end{center} \section{trim} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=.5in,trim=20 20 30 15]{graphics/AdobeDon}\qquad\qquad \insertEPS[width=.5in,trim=20 20 30 15]{AdobeDon}\\[3ex] \texttt{trim=20 20 30 15} \end{center} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=.5in,trim=20 20 30 15,clip]{graphics/AdobeDon}\qquad\qquad \insertEPS[width=.5in, trim=20 20 30 15,clip]{AdobeDon}\\[1ex] \texttt{trim=20 20 30 15,clip} \end{center} \medskip Again, to my eyes, the \textsf{graphicx} images on the left seems blurrier than the \textsf{graphicxsp} image. \section{\protect\texttt{viewport}} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=.5in,viewport=20 20 60 75]{graphics/AdobeDon}\qquad\qquad \insertEPS[width=.5in, viewport=20 20 60 75]{AdobeDon}\\[4ex] \texttt{viewport=20 20 60 75} \end{center} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=.5in,viewport=20 20 60 75,clip]{graphics/AdobeDon}\qquad\qquad \insertEPS[width=.5in,viewport=20 20 60 75,clip]{AdobeDon}\\[3ex] \texttt{viewport=20 20 60 75,clip} \end{center} \section{\protect\texttt{keepaspectratio}} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=1.5in,height=1in]{graphics/AdobeDon} \insertEPS[width=1.5in,height=1in]{AdobeDon}\\[1ex] \texttt{width=1.5in,height=1in} \end{center} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=1.5in,height=1in,keepaspectratio]{graphics/AdobeDon} \insertEPS[width=1.5in,height=1in,keepaspectratio]{AdobeDon}\\[1ex] \texttt{width=1.5in,height=1in,keepaspectratio} \end{center} \section{rotations} \begin{center} \texttt{AdobeDon} \fbox{\includegraphics[width=.5in,origin=c,angle=-45]{graphics/AdobeDon}} \texttt{AdobeDon} \fbox{\insertEPS[width=.5in,origin=c,angle=-45]{AdobeDon}}\\[1ex] \texttt{angle=-45,origin=c} \end{center} \begin{center} \texttt{AdobeDon} \fbox{\includegraphics[width=.5in,origin=rt,angle=-45]{graphics/AdobeDon}} \texttt{AdobeDon} \fbox{\insertEPS[width=.5in,origin=rt,angle=-45]{AdobeDon}}\\[1ex] \texttt{angle=-45,origin=rt} \end{center} \section{rotations and \texttt{bb}/\texttt{trim}/\texttt{viewport}} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=.5in,angle=45,bb=30 50 150 100,clip]{graphics/AdobeDon} \insertEPS[width=.5in,angle=45,bb=30 50 150 100,clip]{AdobeDon}\\[1ex] \texttt{angle=45,bb=30 50 150 100,clip} \end{center} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=.5in,angle=45,trim=20 20 30 15,clip]{graphics/AdobeDon} \insertEPS[width=.5in,angle=45,trim=20 20 30 15,clip]{AdobeDon}\\[1ex] \texttt{angle=45,trim=20 20 30 15,clip} \end{center} \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=.5in,angle=45,viewport=20 20 60 75,clip]{graphics/AdobeDon} \insertEPS[width=.5in,angle=45,viewport=20 20 60 75,clip]{AdobeDon}\\[1ex] \texttt{angle=45,viewport=20 20 60 75,clip} \end{center} \begin{center}\ifpreview\else\previewtrue\fi \textbf{MathLab Graphics}\\[1ex] \insertEPS[width=1in]{ex} \insertEPS[width=1in,clip]{ex} \insertEPS[width=1in,transparency={/ca .3}]{ex}\\[1ex] \textsf{GraphicxSP}: left insert, middle clip, right 30\% transparency \end{center} \parbox{\linewidth}{% \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=1in]{graphics/example} \includegraphics[width=1in,clip]{graphics/example} \includegraphics[width=1in]{graphics/example}\\[1ex] \textsf{Graphicx}: left include, middle clip, right include \end{center}} The bounding box for this graphic is \texttt{[\bboxOf{ex}]}. \end{document}
