preview-latex: Too small bounding boxes
5.2 Too small bounding boxes
============================
The bounding box of a preview is determined by the LaTeX package using
the pure TeX bounding boxes. If there is material extending outside of
the TeX box, that material will be missing from the preview image. This
happens for the label-showing boxes from the 'showkeys' package. This
particular problem can be circumvented by using the 'showlabels' option
of the preview package.
In general, you should try to fix the problem in the TeX code, like
avoiding drawing outside of the picture with PSTricks.
One possible remedy is to set 'preview-fast-conversion' to 'Off'
(
The Emacs interface). The conversion will take more time, but
will then use the bounding boxes from EPS files generated by Dvips.
Dvips generally does not miss things, but it does not understand
PostScript constructs like '\resizebox' or '\rotate' commands, so will
generate rather wrong boxes for those. Dvips can be helped with the
'psfixbb' package option to preview (The LaTeX style file),
which will tag the corners of the included TeX box. This will mostly be
convenient for _pure_ PostScript stuff like that created by PSTricks,
which Dvips would otherwise reserve no space for.
