Set size of printed plots

[Thomas Göbel-2]

Hi listmates,

i am printing my octave plots via
        print -depslatex -color -F:9 example.tex

to have the posibility to add equations to the x/y-labels of the plot.
The problem is i dont know how to set the size of the printed
example.tex plot?

In LaTeX i use \input{example} to place the graph.

Using gnuplot there is the switch
        set size

but i didnt found something similiar in octave.

How do you guys print plots to use it with LaTeX?

Many thanks,
Tom

I don't know which version of Octave you are using, but I'll assume  
you are using the latest release. If you change the papersize property  
for the figure,  that should do what you want. For example, I expect  
the following will produce a result whose size is 2.5x3.5 inches.

        set (gcf, "papersize", [2.5, 3.5])

I'd appreciate it if you give that a try and let me know what the  
result is. It is likely that there is a bug here. If so either myself  
or someone else should fix it.

I thought gnuplot's epslatex terminal would make appropriately sized
plots, but if not, can't you use something like

  \resizebox{5in}{!}{\input{example}}

to make the plot whatever size you want?

I am using octave 3.2.3 with octave-forge plug-ins.

The papersize option didn`t work for me. The result is the same as
without this option. I can`t see an change here.

thanks for that tip. Resizebox is exactly what i searched for, didn`t
know that command.
