SPGRAPH: multiple grpahs to cover the entire page

Unread post by msrahman »

Hello, I am trying to put together 25 graphs on a single paper, using SPGRAPH command. When printed in pdf, I find that they did not cover the whole page, rather only top half of the page. How can I resize these graphs to cover the entire page?
Sincerely,
Sajjadur.

Are you using the direct export to PDF or are you generating an EPS first? If it's the latter, export as landscape. The "portrait" mode won't fill up the full page because the proportions on the graphs will be really bad.

Hi, I am having a similar issue. I am generating a PS file with 2 graphs stacked vertically. When I print to pdf using matlab's ps2pdf, the graphs seem to be aligned to the bottom left corner. I have tried both the portrait and landscape orientations and neither of these fixed my issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have no idea what Matlab's program is designed to do. The EPS files from RATS are designed to be (roughly) 10" x 8" in landscape mode and 8" x 5" in portrait mode and they fill up most of that space. If I use EPSTOPDF, or the direct export to PDF from RATS, those are the PDF file sizes that I get. If you're getting an 8.5" x 11" page in landscape mode, then it would indeed fill that up from the bottom left, which is the (0,0) point.
