Hi Thomas,

I tried the above solution for the creation of figure libraries a few
hours ago... with the same result. Using 'height=10cm' instead of
'width=10cm' should work in this case. At least this workaround gives
the right results for my squared graphics (icons). Anyhow, this is no
general solution...

Best, Peter
