copied!<p>I've been looking for a way to 'see' more accurately the results of a picture combined with text. When I create some shapes:</p> <pre><code> g1 = Graphics[{White, EdgeForm[Directive[Thick, Black]] , Rectangle[{0, 0}, {19, 28}], LightGray, Rectangle[{1, 19}, {9, 27}], Rectangle[{10, 19}, {18, 27}], Rectangle[{1, 23}, {2, 27}]}, Epilog -> { Inset[Text[Style["Information Here", FontSize -> 8]], {1, 25}, {Center, Top}, Automatic, {0, 1}], Inset[Text[Style["some more stuff", FontSize -> 8]], {2, 25}, {Center, Bottom}, Automatic, {0, 1}]}] </code></pre> <p>it shows a scaled down version but the text doesn't fit into the rectangle. However when I port it to pdf it fit's into the rectangle. Is there a way to view the output more as is?</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/5vcIX.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Here's the screenprint (with Windows Snipping Tool) after I changed the the environment to printout. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/4QGRz.jpg" alt="Image after printout environment setting"></p> <p>After this I convert g1 to final1:</p> <pre><code>final1 = Show[g1, AspectRatio -> Automatic, PlotRange -> {{-0.5, 19.5}, {-0.5, 28.5}}] </code></pre> <p>This shows the same result and then I export to PDF.</p> <pre><code>Export["final1.pdf", Show[final1, ImageSize -> {20 cm, 29 cm}]] </code></pre> <p>I open the PDF (Adobe reader 9) and scale to 40% (for comparison). Here you can see what it looks like in acrobat and on paper.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/gOJe0.jpg" alt="adobe reader at 40%"></p> <p>This is with Adobe at 100%</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/fXJBT.jpg" alt="Adobe 100%"></p> <p>As you can see there is a clear difference. I could even add a line of text.</p> <p>EDIT2:</p> <pre><code>Following Alexey suggestion with code: In[27]:= SetOptions[$FrontEndSession, PrintingStyleEnvironment -> "Printout"] In[28]:= Export["finalprintout1.pdf", Show[final1, ImageSize -> {20 cm, 29 cm}]] Out[28]= "finalprintout1.pdf" In[29]:= SetOptions[$FrontEndSession, PrintingStyleEnvironment -> "Working"] In[30]:= Export["finalworking.pdf", Show[final1, ImageSize -> {20 cm, 29 cm}]] Out[30]= "finalworking.pdf" </code></pre> <p>It results in the same PDF's. I have no difference at all?</p>
