I would like to add a figure, but I would like to control both width and length of figure. I know to control length and width separately but not together. Could anyone let me know the command to do that.
I am using the following commands:
\begin{figure}[H] \centering \includegraphics[height=8cm]{Images/abc} \caption{abc} \label{fig:abc} \end{figure} Here you are:
\documentclass{report} \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} \includegraphics[height=3cm]{example-image-b} \includegraphics[width=5cm]{example-image-b} \includegraphics[height=3cm, width=3cm]{example-image-b} \includegraphics[height=3cm, width=6cm]{example-image-b} \includegraphics[keepaspectratio,height=3cm, width=6cm]{example-image-b} \end{document} And the result:
Be very careful! By defining both height and width, you will distort the aspect ratio of the images. See the manual of the graphics bundle for more details and how to avoid distortions. To avoid the distortion, you can use the keepaspectratio-option, as presented in the last command.
[height=…, width=…], but in general, it will change the aspect ratio of the figure.\documentclass{...}, the required\usepackage's,\begin{document}, and\end{document}. That may seem tedious to you, but think of the extra work it represents for TeX.SX users willing to give you a hand. Help them help you: remove that one hurdle between you and a solution to your problem.
