Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Figure not inserted

[dumbchick]

Hi, I'm trying to insert a figure in LaTeX, but it won't work.

I have the following code:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
  \begin{center}
    \includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{design3}
  \end{center}
  \caption{BlaBla}\label{fig:design}
\end{figure}

And the figure design3.png is located in the same directory as the tex-file.

Thank you

"Won't work" is unhelpful description of the problem. What happens exactly? What error messages do you get?

Do you have \includepackage{graphicx} in your preamble?

Are you compiling with pdflatex?

If the answer to each of these is yes, and it still doesn't work, create a complete compiliable minimal working example (basically just the above along with the preamble) and post it here along with the result .log file from when you compile.

See http://miktex.org/2.9/issues , section "TeXnicCenter compatibility".

(As an alternative you could use something less crappy than TeXnicCenter, e.g. TeXworks which is part of MikTeX.)

Ok, thank you! Now it displays the picture

And TeXnicCenter is not good? It was adviced by my university.
