graphicsscaling
I have a picture that I'd like to include in the center of the page. I don't want the picture to scale. So I tried this (among a lot of other variations):
\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
\includegraphics{overview_pyramid.png}
\caption{Overview pyramid}\label{fg:overview_pyramid}
\end{figure}
Why isn't this working? I center the image and I don't set a specific size. Nevertheless the picture is scaled (but don't know the factor) and is on the left end of the page.
You have to carefully adjust the dimensions of your image and the number of lines the wrap figure will extend ( for example [10] in \begin{wrapfigure}[10]{r}{5.5cm}).
An example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx,wrapfig,lipsum}
%------------------------------------------
\begin{document}
This is where the table goes with text wrapping around it. You may
embed tabular environment inside wraptable environment and customize as you like.
%------------------------------------------
\begin{wrapfigure}[10]{r}{5.5cm}
\rule{5.5cm}{7.1cm}
\caption{A wrapped figure}\label{wrap-fig:1}
\end{wrapfigure}
%------------------------------------------
This is where the table goes with text wrapping around it. You may
embed tabular environment inside wraptable environment and customize as you like. This is where the table goes with text wrapping around it. You may

\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{minipage}{6cm}
\centering
\rule{\textwidth}{3cm}
\caption{my figure}\label{fig:2}
\end{minipage}%
\end{figure}%
\lipsum[2-3]
Figure~\ref{wrap-fig:1} is a wrapped figure.

\end{document}
Another option is to use pdfpages package as reported here.
For this add the following line in the preamble:
\usepackage{pdfpages}
Now you need to create a pdf with exact size of your LaTeX document. For this I used Inkscape, but you can use any other tool. In case you do not know what is the exact size of page in pixels, just open the pdf with Inkscape. This will give you titlepage, you can see the height and width of page in Inkscape. Let's say the size of page is 765x990 pixels. Now resize the image that you want to this size and embed it in this page. Save the file as pdf in Inkscape.
Now in the main LaTeX file use the following command
\includepdf{input.pdf}
I am attaching a screenshot of my document below.

Your PNG probably doesn't have the correct resolution information set in its metadata. If you have ImageMagick on your system, you can run
identify -verbose overview_pyramid.pngto see the metadata of the image. If the output containsUnits: Undefinedand/or aResolution:that is incorrect, you need to add the information.You can do this using the command
convert overview_pyramids.png -density 300 -units PixelsPerCentimeter overview_pyramids.pngto set the resolution to 300 pixels per centimetre, for instance; or justconvert overview_pyramids.png -units PixelsPerInch overview_pyramids.pngif the value of the "Density" field is correct but the unit is missing.
