Problem inserting image in LaTeX file

shilz222 · #1 $Old$ 01-16-2008, 12:24 AM

When I try to insert an image, all that comes up is the file name. There is no picure. I am using TeXnicCenter, and use the following conversion: LaTeX --> PDF

Here is the code I typed:

Code:

 \textbf{5}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics{file.JPG}
\caption{r(t) graph}
\label{Fig 1}
\end{figure}

Any ideas?

Thanks

I always have trouble with graphics.

You could try making sure that the case of the file name is correct (try file.jpg)

Other than that all I can suggest is that you convert the jpg to an encapsulated postscript file, that always seems to work.

Another possibility is convert the graphic to a pdf file and try including that.

And yet another; rather than go from LaTeX to pdf directly, go to postscript and use ghostview/script to convert to pdf.

Finally every combination of the above.

Finally finally check that the "usepackage[driver]{graphicsx}" (or whatever you are using) is there and you are using the correct driver.

Thanks, I have the image in my file now (had to add another package). The only thing now is that the file name of the image is being shown also (even though I didn't type it as a caption).

I can't seem to get rid of it. So like the file name is this form: C:\My Documents \ blah \ blah (and this appears on the screen)

Thanks for the help.

Try typing {math}equations'n'at...{/math}{img}web address{/img}{math}more equations'n'at...{/math}.

Is that the direction you wanted to go? I tried putting images within the LaTeX and the web address pops up for it.

I am not sure what you mean... I am using TeXnic Center.

What about working on EPS extension?

Try to convert your file into a EPS one.

you must remove draft from documentclass - I have been bitten by this just now. At least I suppose we had the same problem.
