Clipping graphics in Lyx

[Brian Kneller]

Hello,

I have tried clipping graphics to remove white spaces and centre it on the page.  I have been unable to find a detailed  description as to how it should be done. From my experience I have assumed the zero in the bottom LHS of the graphic to which a pair of coordinates and associated and likewise the is another pair on the top RHS. I centre the graphic horizontally by changing the “x” values on the clipping  entries and this seems to be quite easy the vertical parameters (y) are more difficult to adjust. I am finding the outcome of adjustments is difficult to predict making trimming time consuming. How does the presentation logic respond to changes in clipping values I suspect the float function interacts with this?. All my figures are one page high so I really don’t need to float (?) 1-  would suppressing floating help and if so what is best way ?

Thanks for your help
Regards
