Is it possible to include only half an image? I'm looking to include only the right half of an image and discard the left half.

If there is a simple way to accomplish that, it would make more sense in my case than to generate new images.

You should use the crop and trim options for \includegraphics command.

Example:

\includegraphics[trim = 10mm 80mm 20mm 5mm, clip, width=3cm]{image}

The options for trim is: trim=left bottom right top, where it cropped by the appropriate amount from the sides.

So, including only the right half would look like:

\newlength{\imagewidth}
\settowidth{\imagewidth}{\includegraphics{image}}
\includegraphics[trim=0.5\imagewidth{} 0 0 0, clip, width = 0.1\imagewidth{}]{image}

Check the code.

  • Thanks. I know of trim, but how can I find the image width? Also, why do you need clip?

  • @TimN: trim didn't work without clip.

    @TimN trim only reduces the size of the resulting box (you’d have overlapping on the left side), clip also clips the stuff outside of the box.
