Finding out how to get my charts into LaTeX took way longer than it should have. First, I tried pasting it into a Writer document and then using Save As Picture, but its EPS output resulted in 0-byte files, SVG output was broken, and raster images came out at screen resolution. (I couldn’t find a way to export higher-resolution charts in Excel either!) So here’s how I finally did it:
- Copy and paste the chart from OpenOffice.org Calc into OpenOffice.org Draw.
- Export the drawing as PDF.
- Use
pdfcrop <image.pdf>(provided in thetexlive-extra-utilspackage on Ubuntu 8.10) to crop out the whitespace - Now just use the image with
includegraphics{image-crop.pdf}.
The results are crisp and clean. Amazing!
lol just randomly checked this today, i see you’re using your winter break well! ;D
