If this is trivial or a duplicate I apologize. I failed to find something.

I have the following code 

g1 = Graphics3D[{Gray, Specularity[White, 60], Opacity[0.5], 
      Scale[#, {10, 3, 2}], Opacity[1], Scale[#, {.001, 3, 2}]} &@
    Sphere[], Axes -> True];
g2 = Graphics3D[{Thick, {Arrowheads[Medium], 
     Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, {10, 0, 0}}], Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 2}}], 
     Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, {0, -3, 0}}]}}];
Rasterize[
 Show[{g1, g2}, Boxed -> False, Axes -> False, ImagePadding -> None, 
  ImageMargins -> None, 
  PlotRange -> {{-10.1, 10.1}, {-3.1, 3.1}, {-2.1, 2.1}}, 
  ImageSize -> 600, Lighting -> "Neutral"], ImageResolution -> 200]

which produces the following figure. enter image description here

When I insert this figure in Latex I take something likeenter image description here

As you see there is a lot of space between the caption and the figure. How is it possible to decrease these "white margins"? In order to be more clear see the following figure. enter image description here

Thanks.

  • $\begingroup$ So do you want bounding box or not? With Boxed->False you can just add ImageCrop. $\endgroup$ – Kuba♦ Nov 19 '15 at 11:22

    $\begingroup$ Have you tried Method -> {"ShrinkWrap" -> True}? $\endgroup$ – J. M. is in limbo♦ Nov 19 '15 at 11:29
  • $\begingroup$ @J.M.: No! Thanks. $\endgroup$ – Dimitris Nov 19 '15 at 11:32

    $\begingroup$ If it worked, could you answer your own question? $\endgroup$ – J. M. is in limbo♦ Nov 19 '15 at 11:41

The following will do what I wanted (thanks to @Kuba and @J.M.)

g1 = Graphics3D[{Gray, Specularity[White, 60], Opacity[0.5], 
      Scale[#, {10, 3, 2}], Opacity[1], Scale[#, {.001, 3, 2}]} &@
    Sphere[], Axes -> True];
g2 = Graphics3D[{Thick, {Arrowheads[Medium], 
     Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, {10, 0, 0}}], Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 2}}], 
     Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, {0, -3, 0}}]}}];
Rasterize[
 Show[{g1, g2}, Boxed -> False, Axes -> False, ImagePadding -> None, 
  ImageMargins -> None, 
  PlotRange -> {{-10.1, 10.1}, {-3.1, 3.1}, {-2.1, 2.1}}, 
  ImageSize -> 600, Lighting -> "Neutral", 
  Method -> {"ShrinkWrap" -> True}], ImageResolution -> 300]

or 

g1 = Graphics3D[{Gray, Specularity[White, 60], Opacity[0.5], 
      Scale[#, {10, 3, 2}], Opacity[1], Scale[#, {.001, 3, 2}]} &@
    Sphere[], Axes -> True];
g2 = Graphics3D[{Thick, {Arrowheads[Medium], 
     Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, {10, 0, 0}}], Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 2}}], 
     Arrow[{{0, 0, 0}, {0, -3, 0}}]}}];
ImageCrop[
 Rasterize[
  Show[{g1, g2}, Boxed -> False, Axes -> False, ImagePadding -> None, 
   ImageMargins -> None, 
   PlotRange -> {{-10.1, 10.1}, {-3.1, 3.1}, {-2.1, 2.1}}, 
   ImageSize -> 600, Lighting -> "Neutral", 
   Method -> {"ShrinkWrap" -> True}], ImageResolution -> 300]]

Both result to the same output.
