Hello, I am trying to create an animation and each frame is an image created with TikZ. Thecode looks like this: \documentclass[border=9,tikz]{standalone} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{xltxtra} \begin{document} \setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text,Ligatures=Common]{Minion Pro} \setsansfont[Scale=MatchLowercase,Mapping=tex-text]{Arimo} \setmonofont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{UM Typewriter} \tikz{ \path[save path=\cloud](-1,2)--(13,2); \path[save path=\hill](3,2)--(4,2)..controls(7,5)..(11,2)--(15,2); \begin{scope}[blend group=darken] \begin{scope}[dash pattern=on2off4,line width=12,darkgray] \draw[use path=\cloud]; \draw[use path=\hill]; \end{scope} \begin{scope}[blend group=normal] \draw[use path=\cloud][line width=8]; \draw[use path=\cloud][line width=6,white]; \end{scope} \begin{scope}[blend group=normal] \draw[use path=\hill][line width=8]; \draw[use path=\hill][line width=6,white]; \end{scope} \end{scope} \node[inner sep=0pt] (light) at (3.5,4) {\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{traffic-light.pdf}}; %%%% \node[inner sep=0pt] (light) at (1,2.1) {\includegraphics[scale=0.1]{TRAIN-crop.pdf}}; %%%% \draw (5.5, 5) rectangle (8.5, 6) node[pos=.5] {\small\texttt{print("postive")}}; } \end{document}
The page size of the resulting file has paper size equal to 166 x 47 mm. However, when I change the command that places the PDF image TRAIN-crop.pdf so to place the image in a different position but within the bounds of the first image, the resulting PDF image has paper size equal to 166 x 46 mm! The two files differ as follows: 28,29c28,29 < \node[inner sep=0pt] (light) at (1,2.1) < {\includegraphics[scale=0.1]{TRAIN-crop.pdf}}; --- > \node[inner sep=0pt] (light) at (5.2,3.5) > {\includegraphics[scale=0.1,angle=45]{TRAIN-crop.pdf}}; The question is why do I get different paper sizes? It might be something obviousbut I cannot see it... Regards, Apostolos ----------------------Apostolos Syropoulos Xanthi, Greece
