Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ TeXnicCenter doesn't recognize .eps file type.

[GeorgeLeCompte]

Code: Select all

\documentclass[english]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\begin{center}
  \includegraphics{chick.eps}
\end{center}

\end{document}

yields

! LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .eps.

when built using TexnicCenter.

It seems to be ok
latex thatfile.tex
yields a dvi file.

TeXnicCenter uses pdfLaTeX to produce a PDF directly. In PDF mode pdfTeX cannot include EPS images, so convert them to PDF using epstopdf.

Hi George,

you could use another output profile of TeXnicCenter. Choose LaTeX => PS => PDF instead of LaTeX => PDF.
But also consider to convert the file to pdf like phi said, and to use pdfLaTeX, you could benefit from some advantages.
