Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Unrecogonized File Format EPS

[jaybz]

I'm running Linux Natty, I have Texlive-full installed and I'm using Gummi.
I am receiving the error "Unrecogonized file format" when trying to include a eps file in Gummi. The graphic was created with Inkscape and exported to eps. I have also tried saving to PDF then converting to eps using pdftops.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[htp]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=1.00]{/home/jaybz/Desktop/Graph1.eps}
\caption{}
\label{}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Are you compiling with pdflatex or regular latex? You'll need to use regular latex for EPS files.

With Gummi your choices for compilation under
Edit -> Preferences -> Miscellaneous -> "Typesetter Command"
are: pdflatex, xelatex and custom. I'm not sure how to create a custom command that will make it use regular latex.

The easiest thing to do would probably be to export the image you're trying to use to PDF and then include the PDF. pdflatex supports PDF format directly. Converting to EPS is counterproductive.

The alternative is to try to write a script that calls latex, dvips and ps2pdf in succession and have gummi use the script as a custom command. I imagine it will slow down gummi's live preview though, so I'd do that only as a last resort.

Ok, the direct to PDF method works for me. Thank you.
