Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Figures show as blank boxes with filename in it

[fuzzyspot]

Hi all,
Sorry if this has been asked somewhere else... I tried for quit a while but still couldn't the solution.

So I am trying to include several EPS figures created by Illustrator CS3 into a Tex file in TeXicCenter. Here's my code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[
preprint
]{jasatex}   % jasatex.cls obtained from the journal website
\usepackage{graphicx}
...
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[type=eps,ext=.eps,read=.eps]{fig_1}
\caption{A figure caption. The figure captions are automatically numbered.}
\label{fig:fig1}
\end{figure}

I added the [type=eps,ext=.eps,read=.eps] part because the program didn't recognize .eps before and was giving me errors.

Now I can pass without errors and warnings, but have Bad Box(es) reported, and the figures are shown as blank boxes with the figure filename in the middle of it... I am not sure what went wrong. Could anyone help me on this?

Thanks so much!

Please always provide a minimal example that is compilable as provided. Otherwise giving specific help is nearly impossible especially when a problem becomes more complicated.

You are using a document class that is not listed on CTAN. And unfortunately you didn't give a link where to find it. So I can only assume that the »preprint« class option is the culprit. Probably it's an equivalent to the known »draft« option of other classes.

Hello again,

Sorry that I forgot to post the link to JasaTex. Please see it in the following link:
ftp://ftp.aip.org/asa/

I have also made a minimum example. Please see the attachment for the tex and figure files.

Also, if it is really the preprint part that causes the problem, how do I fix it?

Thanks very much!

The provided example compiles just fine even with the »preprint« option. Figures are shown as their are. Did you take a look at the single EPS files before compiling? If not, do so. For comparison try to include an image where you know the content.

Hey
I have just started with LaTeX, and I am facing same problem.
My code is

Code: Select all

\documentclass [a4paper,draft,11pt,] {report}
usepackage{graphicx}
.....
\begin{figure}
 \centering
 \includegraphics [width=0.48\textwidth] {disp_curve.eps}
 \end{figure}

In the compiled document there is a box with ''disp_curve_converted-to.pdf'' written.
there is pdf document created separately in same directory having the actual figure.

I would appreciate the help.

Just drop »draft« in the document class options. And please check your examples not only for minimal content but also for functionality.
