I am running into some trouble, especially with the background colour of the image, which I wish to force. Here is some information: 1. I make the image using Dia, and export it. 2. I include the EPS directly, and Acrobat doesn't like it. 3. I epstopdf the images, they come otu well, except that they are transparent and the images with black text and lines looks bad on my dark background presentation. I partially worked around the problem by using background=screen in my \useexternalfigure calls. However, I have a combination image, where the second image comes without the white filled background. Could you please tell me a way to force the background colour of my images to white? I really don't want to convert it to PNG or something, since PNG doesn't look nice after scaling, does it? :-) Thanks in advance.
