I have been busting my ass on my thesis, geology related. It has pasted my committee. Now the department head who is a soft geography science (don't ask me why or how he is in charge) is reviewing my thesis. I caught a mistake in a figure and emailed him the correct new image. He says he doesn't see the difference. He then procedes to email me the 1st half of my thesis. I am horrified. The bastard is resizing all the figures like an autist so there are no "white gaps". I need advice B. I need some advice on how to tell him he ruining my work and convince him to let me properly resize my images. Pic Related. Red is outline of the Ternary diagram I originally had in file with the approximate angles. Orange is what he has created.
HELP! My thesis is now being edited by a fucking idiot!

why is he writing your thesis? tell him you'll resize them and make some changes and do it quickly

OP here. He has also resized some other figures and I have not seen the damage on my results or conclusions section but I am worried that all my photomicrographs with scale bars are gonna look like "Fun-house" mirrors.

Have you discussed this with your advisor?
Christian Cooper
you're going to have to suck the dick of whoever is in charge.
there's no point in arguing, just accept it, and take the blame when someone else asks why it was done that way.
nobody wants to be around someone who will throw someone else under the bus.
I had an advisor who was very critical of my setup. I argued with him for the entire meeting telling him his concerns were unfounded. I just gave up and let him have his way. Turns out I was right anyways.

He isn't writing it. He is inserting stupid shit like "Source: Created by author". Which if you don't cite other people you don't need to put it in. He should only be checking for grammar mistakes and making sure my pagination and table of contents is correct. Not fucking with the thesis figures.

Why the fuck do you have a blank Ter-
You know what, I don't even want to know, here

You're both autistic for not using standard tools and trying to draw this in whatever the fuck you were.

I will tomorrow but my adivsor has thrown me under the bus before with this guy and he is out of town at the moment.
Well thats why I am asking for some advice. I feel like this thesis and my work within is my resume in a sense and this guy is already degrading it and making it look questionable. This guys ego is enormous so I was looking for diplomatic strategies.

>"Source: Created by author".
That is so fucking stupid. Jesus fucking christ that's grade-school tier retarded...

ahah I am not posting my real figure here. Red is the outline of mine, orange its current state. This is a side by side comparison with a ternary diagram that is composed of an equalateral triangle in the background. The image is just a quick demonstration of the change.
