** Using WeBWorK **

It appears that the images are not sized correctly and are putting whitespace around themselves, covering up much of the rest of the pages.

I downloaded the tex output and the images, and I run into the same issue when I compile on my laptop as I do if my server compiles.

This problem wasn't happening earlier in the year, and the only things I can see that may have changed are giftopnm, ppmtopgm, and pnmtops (which were all updated 2/28/03). Is there any easy way to get back to the old version, which seemed to have worked properly?

I had a similar problem earlier this year. You need to fiddle with the following lines in system/scripts/gif2eps:

#cat $1 | $GIFTOPNM | $PPMTOPGM | $PNMTOPS -noturn 2>/dev/null > $2
cat $1 | $GIFTOPNM | $PPMTOPGM | $PNMTOPS -noturn -nosetpage 2>/dev/null > $2

# Current versions of pnmtops require the switch -nosetpage but some
# earlier versions do not accept this switch. If it causes problems
# edit it out.

Jason Farmer at Radison also had a similar problem (see http://webhost.math.rochester.edu/webworkdocs/discuss/msgReader$907 ) but there is no record of how it was resolved. If Zig's trick doesn't work, perhaps you can consult with Jason. Please post a successful resolution to the web, so that it will be quicker to resolve this issue next time.

Thanks. That seems to have done the trick. Adding -nosetpage is the answer.
