Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Inserting an eps file

[tcadena411]

I'm trying to get my LaTeX program to import an eps file and it is not reading it. I have LaTeX creating a PDF file. Here is my code:

\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{trig}
\usepackage{graphics}
\graphicspath{{e:\graphs}}

\item Two inequalities are graphed below: Which set of inequalities does this graph represent?

\begin{figure}[h]
\centerline{\includegraphics[height=2in]{inequalities.eps}}
\end{figure}

\begin{enumerate}

\item $y\leq-5x+1$, $y\geq3x-2$

\item $y\geq-5x+1$, $y\leq3x-2$

\item $y\geq-5x+1$, $y\geq3x-2$

\item $y\leq-5x+1$, $y\leq3x-2$

\\[2]
\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

Can anybody help me with this issue? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

use LaTeX instead of pdfLaTeX, or use for instance the epstopdf package.

Are you compiling with pdflatex? If so, try the latex > ps > pdf route instead, or else use epstopdf to convert the eps image to a pdf image. There are about a dozen or so other thread on this topic here... if you need for information, do a search for them.

At first you should read Section 2.4 of the Board Rules. Afterwards please edit your post and modify it accordingly.

pdflatex doesn't accept the EPS format for graphics files. As Stefan already mentioned, you can convert it by using the epstopdf command line tool or the epstopdf package for conversion "on the fly". Note that the compiler will need shell escape for the latter one. The search function of the forum will yield more details as there are already solutions to this issue.

The \item command only works in list environments like description, enumerate or itemize. Thus there should be an error at it's first occurrence.
