General ⇒ Inserting a figure with Texniccenter

[lyeta]

Hello,

I just start using Latex and i've a little problem when i want to insert a figure with TexnicCenter: it's an .eps figure and i want to do LaTeX=>pdf. The insertion works when i use Kyle at university, but at home i've TexnicCenter and with the same code it doesn't work (the pdf is created, but instead of the figure there's a white area) . Is it normal? Do i have to change the code for TexnicCenter?

Sometimes i've this error:
LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .eps.
which is quite strange.. did i forget to download a library or something like that?

Thank you for your help!

In TeXnicCenter, LaTeX => PDF means compiling with pdfLaTeX. Thus only pdf, jpg, and png graphics are supported.

I would recommend setting TeXnicCenter for a LaTeX => PS => PDF build. How to do this by importing a build profile was previously discussed here: http://latex-community.org/viewtopic.ph ... 302&hilit=

That should solve your problem.

I have the same problem. I tried all options: latex->pdf, latex->ps->pdf, I tried to insert .eps files or .jpg files. Nothing works!

I did what pumpkinegan said above and it worked fine. Thanks
