Actual eps picture size in beamer presentation

Actual eps picture size in beamer presentation

Hi,
I've created an eps picture with the exact width of a landscape A4 to be
used in a beamer presentation. However, the latex exporter shrinks it. I'd
like to pass an option to the exporter to use the actual size of the
picture, is that possible?

Best regards,
Johan

If you are using the old exporter:

#+attr_latex: scale=1.0

should work.  With the new exporter this should be:

#+attr_latex: :options "scale=1.0"

Note: With the new exporter, any backslashes inside the double quotes
need to escaped.  e.g. "width=0.9\\textwidth"

Hope this helps.

I am sure it is, but beamer slides are not A4. they are actually (if I remember correctly)
something around 7 by 9 cm. So A4 actual size would go beyond the beamer slide.

Found it: 128mm by 96mm

Ok, thanks!
I seem to get the right size with "#+ATTR_LATEX: width=128mm".
But how can I make the lower left corner of my picture start exactly at the
lower left corner of my slide?

BR / Johan

You have to set it as background and insert an empty slide - then you have it.

Cheers,
