Document Classes ⇒ graphics path in class file

[steve6390]

Hello!

I have a class file that uses \includegraphics for a logo. The class file is in a common area, not per document. I add the .cls file location to the root directories, update FNDB, and everything works except the logo graphic isn't found.

I tried some experiments with using \graphicspath in the class file, but no luck.

I don't want users to explicitly add the path the graphic in their own documents. I want users to simply specify the document class and have the logo be automatically found by some means.

I'm using MikTex 2.8.

Thanks for any advice!

Where did you put the logo file? In the same folder as the .cls file? I would have guess that should work...

Right, I tried putting them in the same spot. In my case the paths look like this:

Code: Select all

my_class/tex/latex/base/myclass.cls
my_class/tex/latex/base/mylogo.pdf

But no luck.

Try in my_class/tex/generic/mylogo.pdf and refresh the FNDB afterwards.

That works! Thanks frabjous!
