Hi

I can’t really get an answare when googling this, which image file format is easiest to implement in a LaTeX document?

That depends on the compiler engine you are using. Search the forum for »graphics format« to get suitable results.

Best regards

If you use LaTeX (DVI -> EPS -> PDF) then you want EPS graphics. For PDFLaTeX, PDF or PNG files can be included natively. Everything else needs to be converted. I tend to have an EPS and PDF version of each graphic, so both routes work with

Code: Select all

\inlcudegraphics{file-name}

(i.e. I don't include the extension)
