Scalebox does not work with DVI preview, but should work once you
convert the document to PS or PDF.

Thanks, John, but I do not observe any size reduction with \scalebox.

You'll need to put 

\usepackage{graphicx}

in your preamble to be able to use scalebox.

\unitlength 0.5mm does not work, as my picture has got text and the
text is not resized. I tried

\scalebox{0.5}{
\unitlength 1mm
\begin{picture}(80,40)(0,0)
\linethickness{0.2mm}
\put(0,0){\line(1,0){30}}
[snip]
\end{picture}
}

but getting

! Undefined control sequence.
l.81 \scalebox
  {0.5}{

\unitlength 1mm


shouldn't \unitlength 0.5mm do the trick? Otherwise use \scalebox{0.5}{...}


\begin{picture}(80,40)(0,0)
\linethickness{0.2mm}
\put(0,0){\line(1,0){30}}
[snip]
\end{picture}

Reducing size of LaTeX pictures

2006-04-02 Thread Paul Smith 
Dear All

I have the following picture inserted in a figure float:

\unitlength 1mm
\begin{picture}(80,40)(0,0)
\linethickness{0.2mm}
\put(0,0){\line(1,0){30}}
[snip]
\end{picture}

How can I reduce to 50% of its size, say, without having to redraw the
whole picture?

Thanks in advance,

Paul
