Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Problems with Graphs

[beth87]

I have serious problems with the graphs in whatever format .pdf .eps or .png
I am using Texnic Center and Miktex as a compiler and I am having problems because it generates a frame with written the directory of the image but I can not see the image.
I have uploaded the graphic package... my code is...

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}

\usetheme{Warsaw}

\setbeamercovered{invisible}

\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{} 
%
\usepackage{graphicx}


\title{Offshoring with Search and Matching at the Labor Market}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics [width=0.65\textwidth]{C:\TEX FILES\imgs\Graph2.png}


\end{figure}
\end{frame}
% End of slides
\end{document}

I save the images under a same folder where I keep my latex files. I have problems aswell in a normal latex pdf with Texnic Center. With Texnic Center the graphs do not even appear.

Hi Beth,

welcome to the board!

The problem is caused by spaces in file path. Just don't use spaces there. Or use relative paths, such as

Code: Select all

\includegraphics[width=0.65\textwidth]{imgs\Graph2.png}

It can also be solved by loading grffile which can help to fix it:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{grffile}

Thanks,I had already changed the folder name but it did not work.
I solved the problem writing the the path as follows ( NOTE THAT THE SLASH ARE IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION - Slash instead of back slash)

C:/TEX/img/Graph2.png



Is this normal?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Yes, slashes are normal. Slashes are used in Unix paths, but more important is that the backslash character has a special meaning in (La)TeX, starting control sequences.

Note that also with slashes it would not have worked with the space in the file name.

Now I have problems creating a bounding box in a pdf file for a pdf image...
