I have PNG image I want to introduce into my presentation. The figure is black and white and the edges are small. When I compile the file in pdflatex
everything is fine but when I Compile it with xelatex
I get !dimension too large
error:
[1] <use "./figs/surface.png" > [2]
! Dimension too large.
<to be read again>
b
l.31 \end{frame}
The line I use:
\includegraphics<2> [width=0.8\textwidth]{./figs/surface.png}\par
And the file:
Here is a MWE:
\documentclass[bigger]{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Coarse-Grained (CG) simulation of a membrane}
\begin{columns}
\begin{column}{0.6\textwidth}
\includegraphics<2> [width=0.8\textwidth]{./figs/surface.png}\par
\includegraphics<3> [width=1.0\textwidth]{./figs/a_lipid_CG.jpg}
\end{column}
\begin{column}{0.4\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item bla
\end{itemize}
\end{column}
\end{columns}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

The
a_lipid_CG.jpg
seems to cause the issue. As explained below this specific JPG seems to be incompatible with XeTeX.I get the same error with the following MWE:
Note that the
[1] <use "./figs/surface.png" > [2]
is not part of the error message, but only a info message printed before it.After running the JPG image through the conversion tool of Image Magick
convert
, i.e.convert a_lipid_CG.jpg a_lipid_CG2.jpg
and testing the document with this new JPG file, the error disappears. This leads me to the conclusion that your particular JPG file is not fully compatible with XeTeX. Apparently XeTeX has issues reading the size from the meta-data from the JPG, which somehow leads to the "too-large" error.To fix this please open the JPG file in an image manipulation program and save it again.
