Trimming images

You can use the Trim Image function to remove parts of the source file that should not be retained in the figure, such as a caption, or excessive white space.

Note: Trim Image is only available for Other Figures.

To trim a figure

  1. Outline the section to keep by drawing a rectangle on the figure.
    Click and drag from the top left corner of the intended rectangle to begin drawing. Release the mouse button at the intended lower right corner.
    Tip:
    You can move and resize the rectangle afterwards. The cursor will show which function clicking and dragging will have.

  2. Click Trim Image.
