General ⇒ Urgent assistance required for a draft due tomorrow

[saad]

I am using MikTeX distribution and TeXnicCenter for my first draft creation for a conference paper, with LaTeX deadline of which is tomorrow. So, kindly treat it a bit urgent, and your help is greatly appreciated. I can also send my source files to you if you are willing to help.
Here are small problems i am facing:
I am using LaTeX for first time for draft creation. It is regarding insertion of graphics and appendix.

1)I am converting the bmp files first to ps (for some figures) through adobe distiller PS driver, and then using GSVIEW, converting to eps.
2)When i insert them in my file, they do not show up in dvi. I intend to submit draft in pdf, and they do not show up there, either (also, i need feedback on how to smartly create pdf in latex).
3)I intend tables to be in appendix, but they mix up. Some go in appendix, some in bib???
I am attaching both the bmp and converted eps, with the LaTeX source. I am using http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackage ... d=ieeetran IEEEtran package available from IEEE.
4)When i convert it to pdf using adobe professional from dvi viewer as printer option (1200resolution), the pdf created is hazy, and low quality

I am ready to send you source if you can specify your email addy.
thanks in advance.
best

Ok, I was able to correct the problem of displaying the graphics, and tables and appendices as well.
Here remains one last small issue (which is a known issue). Once i convert a bmp to PS or EPS, it gets rotated, sometimes by 180 and sometimes by 90 degree. Here:
http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/bu ... 00641.html
and
http://www.met.rdg.ac.uk/~dan/work/H2RotateAPSFile.html
they discuss some methods to rotate it. First, i donno where exactly to put the 90 rotate command or any command to say. If i randomly, or at start, put the command, it does not work. Any suggestions, ideas, are welcome. I can send the file to you as well. Here is what the start of file looks like, after comments:

%%BeginResource: file Pscript_WinNT_ErrorHandler 5.0 0

Regarding the pressure of time, i recommend the use of GIMP. Pay attention to the fact that GIMP requires GTK+. You can get that under the same link.

I downloaded the BMP version of your image and had no problems in converting it to EPS and PDF. But i was running under Linux and i used the embedded KIM plugins for Konqueror which make that process quite easy. I put both files into the attachment. The EPS version had to be compressed.

For future generation of plots, you should use the export function of your software if available. You did not mention which software created this iterations plot (i recommend GNUplot). A BMP file is always very large and so is the converted EPS image (2.6MB!).

In case of rotation you can give the \includegraphics command an option angle with positive or negative value to compensate this.

Code: Select all

\includegraphics[angle=-90,with=0.8\textwidth]{iterations}

This would correspond to a 90° turn to the left.
