Homework Statement

i am trying to insert an eps figure into latex.
The problem is: when i open the file as a dvi file, it works fine. but when i try to convert into a pdf file by clicking the dvi-to-pdf icon, i notice that a small part of the picture is missing (cut off on the side)...i don't understand why? and how can i solve this problem?

for your help. i think the problem is that the size of the picture is too big to fit in the page, so it gets cut off. i solved this problem by resizing the picture with an image editor, and then inserting it into latex with the following command: \begin{figure}[H]\begin{center}\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{pic.eps}\caption{picture}\end{center}\end{figure}
