LaTeX - Automatically scale down an area so that it will be inside a page if it's too big?

Question

I'm making a document in LaTeX. It includes a set of images in a row. A small percentage are quite wide and will stretch and push off the page. If I shrink all the image sequences then most of them will look too small. However it's not easy to figure out what sets are going to be too large. I'd like some automatic way to resize these sets.

Is there anyway to surround something with a command which will shrink it enough so that it fits within the width of the page? If it's already narrower than the page, then no shrinking is necessary?

Answer 1

you can do something like

\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{figure}

or

\includegraphics[width=0.33\textwidth]{figure}
\includegraphics[width=0.33\textwidth]{figure}
\includegraphics[width=0.33\textwidth]{figure}
