Graphic size in slides

Question

I'm doing a slide presentation with LaTeX, and some slides show only graphics. I created those graphics using R. But in those slides, the graphic size is too big and a part of the graphic does not appear in the slide, like it's been cropped. Is there any command in LaTeX that can make the graphic smaller in the slide?

Answer 1

The \includegraphics command from the graphicx package can take a number of optional arguments, such as scale, width, and height. You can use these to get the desired size- a MWE follows

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}    
\begin{frame}
 %\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{mypicture}
 \includegraphics[width=2cm]{mypicture}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
