 +====== How to resize PNGs ======
 +
 +To convert a PNG figure to the pixel size you prefer, use the ImageMagick %%convert%% command. For example,
 +
 +<​code>​
 +convert -resize 400x300 bigfig.png justright.png
 +</​code>​
 +
 +converts the 560x420 pixel figure %%bigfig.png%% to a 400x300 pixel figure %%justright.png%%.
