title: EPS figure in pdf output is transparent and placed over text - a Latex problem
body: <p>I have generated eps figures in MATLAB and am using them in Latex. (Miktex 2.9 with TexnicCenter).</p>
  
  <p>I dont understand why the output ( PS-> pdf ) shows the figure on top of the text below it. Also the figure appears to have a  transparent background through which you can see the text over which it is placed.</p>
  
  <p>the name of the figure file is TEER.eps</p>
  
  <p>Here is what I have in my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>\documentclass[preprint,12pt]{elsarticle}
   \usepackage{graphicx}
   \usepackage{amssymb}
  
  \begin{document}
  
  \begin{figure}[!ht]
  \begin{center}
  
  \scalebox{0.4}{\includegraphics*[0.6in,10.4in][7.9in,4.7in]{imgs/TEER}}
  
  \caption{TEER plot}
  \label{fig:TEERplot}
  \end{center}
  \end{figure}
  .

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Kindly let me know what Im doing wrong. Thanks</p>
