I would like to include a graphic into one of my appendix section. The problem is that I need the graphic to be as large as possible in order for some writing in it to be legible. I noticed that the graphic automatically moves across the right page margin as I scale it up. However, I want the graphic to be in a central position, so I suppose I would have to adjust the left margin manually? My code looks as follows:

\begin{appendices}
   \section{Appendix A}
   \section{Appendix B}
   \section{Appendix C}
      \includegraphics[width=???mm]{"graphic"}
\end{appendices}

I have already tried out the what is proposed in the answers to Changing margin for a part of page only, but neither solution worked in the appendix environment. (When I include a figure into the appendix via \begin{figure} \end{figure} it paradoxically appears outside of it.)

I would be very grateful for any answers or suggestions! :)

P.S. In case it is of any importance, I am using the article class.

  • I am wondering about width=300mm? Which paper format do you use? A3 (which would be quite unusual). Neither letter nor A4 formats allow for text widths (or linewidths) larger than about 18cm (having some 1.5cm of margins to the left and right, as an example –  Sep 16 '17 at 15:36
  • @Christian Hupfer I just put down something. I'm using A4. :) – Apollo13 Sep 16 '17 at 15:38

\includegraphics has no special positioning rules: it gets placed on the page just like a letter and so the same mechanisms can be used to adjust the position as you would use to position a letter.

Probably here you just want \hspace.

\hspace*{-2cm}\includegraphics[width=15cm]\hspace*{-2cm}

For example would allow a 15cm wide image starting 2cm to the left of wherever it would have started otherwise.
