Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ JPEG or EPS figures in a Latex document?

[Sam]

Hello,

I am looking to include figures in JPEG format into my report...which accepts only .EPS figures..

Which command should I add...

\usepackage{graphicx}

otherwise, if you have any Latex report template, that would be very helpful...

Many Thanks

Hi Sam,

pdfLaTeX supports inclusion of jpeg files directly. \usepackage{graphicx} would be sufficient, but choose compilation to pdf, not to dvi/ps.

Hi Steph,

Thanks for the advice!

I have included
\usepackage{graphicx}

but still latex do not like it.

I would be grateful if you could send me a template of a latex report...

I am quite novice...

Thanks

I remember that you're using TeXnicCenter. So, choose the output profile LaTeX => PDF instead of LaTeX => DVI or LaTeX => PS.

JPEG should work with pdflatex. Are you using latex not pdflatex?

When you say "it does not work", that is not very helpful. How does it not work? Post your log file if need be.

Hello,

Thanks for ur help!

Yep I am using Latex ==> PDF
Attached is the log file..

I guess I can t use both EPS and PDF/JPEG in the same document?

Thanks for ur help!

Yes, if you're using pdf/jpg you cannot use eps. That's the reason of the error message in the log: unknown graphics extension: eps.
Convert the eps to pdf, it's possible in perfect quality with the tool epstopdf. Use it on the command prompt.
Or try \usepackage{epstopdf} in your document.

Thanks Stef, you area STAR! but it still did not work!

Thanks,

That may be caused by a draft Option to \documentclass or the graphicx package. Check those two lines.
