Crop An Inserted Image?


Answer :

You can crop your image with graphicx



\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
% trim from left edge
\includegraphics[trim={5cm 0 0 0},clip]{example-image-a}
% trim from right edge
\includegraphics[trim={0 0 5cm 0},clip]{example-image-a}
\end{document}


Use the trim option, which takes four space separated values.



 trim={<left> <lower> <right> <upper>}


If you don’t give a unit, the package assumes bp i.e. big points to be the unit. After setting these values you must activate the cropping with clip=true or just clip.



If you combine trim with height or something similar the image will be cropped and then resized. That means that the crop values must fit the original size. If found no solution to say crop to 50 % width.



Update



As Martin said in the comments you can use adjustbox to clip the image exactly by 50 %. Note that you must replace \includegraphics by \adjincludegraphics, to access the \width.



\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[export]{adjustbox}

\begin{document}
\adjincludegraphics[height=5cm,trim={0 0 {.5\width} 0},clip]{example-image-a}
\end{document}


adjustbox also provides \height, \depth and \totalheight.



To clip 50% of the right of your image without using extra packages you can use a savebox to measure the natural size of the image first.
This only required the graphicx package which is part of LaTeX itself and always installed. Note that all scaling/resizing is applied after the trimming. If you want the original image be scaled to 5cm width and then 50% clipped, just resize the clipped half to a width of 2.5cm afterwards:



\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\begingroup
\sbox0{\includegraphics{example-image}}%
\includegraphics[clip,trim=0 0 {.5\wd0} 0,width=2.5cm]{example-image}
\endgroup

\end{document}




It is also possible to use an internal macro of graphics/x to calculate the scale factor which would be used to scale the original image to a 5cm width and then use these factor on the clipping image as well:



\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\includegraphics[width=5cm]{example-image} %<---- for comparison


\begingroup
\sbox0{\includegraphics{example-image}}%
\makeatletter
\Gscale@div\myscale{5cm}{\wd0}
\includegraphics[clip,trim=0 0 {.5\wd0} 0,scale=\myscale]{example-image}
\endgroup

\end{document}


The viewport key of graphicx can also be used to simulate trimming or cropping. viewport has 4 space-separated length arguments: left bottom right top. The remaining code should be self-explanatory. 



\documentclass{article}

\def\FirstScale{0.5}% scale for loading
\def\SecondScale{1}% scale for final
\def\FileName{example-image-a}% file name


\usepackage{graphicx}
\newsavebox\IBox
\savebox\IBox{\includegraphics[scale=\FirstScale]{\FileName}}

\usepackage{pgf}

\newlength\xL
\newlength\yL
\newlength\xR
\newlength\yR

\pgfmathsetlength{\xL}{0*\wd\IBox/\FirstScale}% please adjust
\pgfmathsetlength{\yL}{0*\ht\IBox/\FirstScale}% please adjust
\pgfmathsetlength{\xR}{0.5*\wd\IBox/\FirstScale}% please adjust
\pgfmathsetlength{\yR}{1.0*\ht\IBox/\FirstScale}% please adjust


\usepackage[tightpage,active,graphics]{preview}
\PreviewBorder=0pt

\begin{document}
\includegraphics[viewport={\xL} {\yL} {\xR} {\yR},clip,scale=\SecondScale]{\FileName}
\end{document}


enter image description here



Note that neither trim nor viewport reduces the size of file importing the image.

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
