General ⇒ \includegraphics ?

[fxlatex]

Wow; This is a great forum! First time posting.

I have just began to use Latex for some simple documents. I am using TexMaker Editor ... on a CentOS (Linux) system.
I have created a great CV ... and some simple letters, so I am green! I am loving Latex

I was working today on a letter and was attempting to insert images (.eps) ... I was successful to some degree ... I used code:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[scale=0.60]{/home/local01/la.tex/let/logo-01.eps}
\end{figure} 

The above code placed just bellow \begin{letter}; this placed a small logo (logo-01.esp) nicely in the upper left hand corner of my letter. I am happy with that. I, however, would rather had the logo in the upper right corner of the letter never could do that.

I would like to be able to insert images in my papers, at will; say the right side of a technical paper w/caption. Then have text directly justified left of the image ... similar to what you might see in a magazine article; then more text, and maybe a image on the left w/caption, some text directly justified right of the image. In other words images to support the message of the paper.

Can anyone advise me where I can research this or how this can be archived?

Any help, is much appreciated.

The wrapfig package could be useful.

Hi - new user here.

Just lloking for some help with adding graphics to my latex code. At university i was using .eps files which was fine - but now that ive finished i dont have the ability to use .eps at home.

3 Questions really:

1. Can i download something that will allow me to creat eps files?
2. what is the correct formatting for .jpg or .gif files?
3. Do you images have to be in the same folder as your tex source code in order for it to pick it up?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

cheers

The epslatex document can be very useful to learn how to use imported graphics files in LaTeX documents.
