Hi Marcio

Even if the graphs are not standard size, perhaps they might be arranged in
groups of similar size. Should that be the case, and you can find trim and
scale parameters for each group, then you could include suitable new
commands in your preamble. Eg

\newcommand{\FigScaleClass1}{0.55} 
\newcommand{\LcolClass1}{35} 
\newcommand{\RcolClass1}{35} 
\newcommand{\TcolClass1}{93} 
\newcommand{\BcolClass1}{65} 

\newcommand{\FigScaleClass2}{0.65} 
\newcommand{\LcolClass2}{45} 
\newcommand{\RcolClass2}{45} 
\newcommand{\TcolClass2}{97} 
\newcommand{\BcolClass2}{55} 

etc

then you could use the particular set of parameters that are appropriate for
some particular figure. It will be obvious to all who post here that use
modular code all the time but it is worth restating for neophytes that the
advantage of using the new command approach is that you need not remember
the parameters once you have discovered the ones that work best, and you can
change them for all the figures in one fell swoop if you decide to change
the layout (eg from article to book etc). 

(I have used random numbers for illustrative purposes.) 

Certainly, this worked for me when I was producing plots that could be
grouped in broadly similar types. 

Hope you find a solution that works!

Best wishes

David
