[jafarHH]

Hi,

im getting some problems when try to include graphics to my document, im using LED and the image i want to include is a jpg
i'm pretty new so any help would be appreciated here is my code and the errors i get:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[draft]{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
\section{social}

some text... 

\subsection{statistics}

more text...

\begin{figure}

\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{statistics.jpg}

\end{figure}

\end{document}

and here is the error message

cannot determine size of graphics statistic.jpg.

here is the figure i'm trying to put in the doc.

Thanks in advance.

Firstly, if you want graphics to show up, you need to remove the "draft" option to the document class.

Next, how are you compiling? With regular latex, or pdflatex? You'll need to use pdflatex to include jpg's directly.

If I remove "draft", it works just fine for me with pdflatex.

Thx that helped but the picture shows up at the top of the page over the text section...

That's because you put it inside a floating figure environment. Try using the placement option for the figure, e.g.:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!h]

adjust as needed (details here).
