Re: eps versus jpg
One should use the graphics format best suited for the number of unique colors in the source file, as well as the one that produces the smallest output without losing quality. -Marc On Wednesday 28 April 2004 21:33, Owen Lucas wrote: I use matlab and LyX all the time.

eps versus jpg
Hi, I inserted two images side by side and this works fine as long I insert two eps-files. If I want to insert an eps- and a jpg-file the jpg-image looks much smaller than the eps although both columns are sized 50% and the images within their columns are sized 100%. The jpg-file seems to have a white frame around it. I exported both images from matlab graphics, does the problem come from exporting and can I work around it in Lyx? Thank you, Melanie

But I think I can show you the workaround :) If you LeftClick on the Image in LyX the Graphics Dialog opens. In the Clipping Tab you accept Clip to Bounding Box and then enter the dimension of the BoundingBox. Attention: The values for both Left Bottom and Right Top are counted from the Left Bottom of the original picture! When I first used it I thought it was the amount to be cropped in both cases... ;-)

A .eps has a particular size encoded in the file. A .jpg doesn't, it merely has a number of pixels which depends on how big a pixel is. Therefore, 50% size for a .eps is 50% of the specified size. A jpeg might be displayed with half of its pixels removed, but the size will then depend on screen resolution I believe. Unless there is some standard for how big a jpg pixel should be in lyx. It'd still be arbitrary though. You may however specify the jpeg size in units (5cm, 2bp, and so on) or in a percentage of column or page width. That works the same way for both .eps and .jpg, and lets you get same-sized graphichs. Helge Hafting
