Scaling in LaTeX

[Dan Bolser <dmb mrc-dunn cam ac uk>]

Hi, I was searching the documentation for information about resizing an
exported .tex file, and found this question on the dia-list archives...

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dia-list/2001-June/msg00159.html

I tried to implement the solution worked out there, namely...

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage{
  pstricks,
  graphicx
}

\begin{document}

\resizebox{5cm}{!}{\input{my-exported-tex-file}}

\end{document}

However, when I try to compile the above latex complains,

! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).

                   -
l.202 }
       \endpspicture


I can hapily compile the following...

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage{
  pstricks,
}

\begin{document}

\input{my-exported-tex-file}

\end{document}


But (funnily enough) the scaling is all wrong (the dia image is too big).

Something happens to the syntax of the "\input{}" file
(my-exported-tex-file) when I "\usepackage{graphicx}". This happens
regardless of weather I try to resize the file or not.

Seems as though the 'work in progress' stuff at the end of the above
thread may have created the error I am seeing now?

Please let me know how to send better information on this problem :)

Dan.
