Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ No Graphics with included File

[Singularity]

Hi folks. What's wrong with my latex code? There is no figure where there should be, just lots of blank space. I'm pretty sure nothing is wrong in SandM.tex because I've used it before. Thanks.

Thanks.

Try changing:

Code: Select all

\include{SandM.tex}

to simply:

Code: Select all

\include{SandM}

The .tex extension is added automatically.

If it's not that, then post the .log file here.

That was it.

I added the ".tex" because it wasn't working. I took it away, and now it works. (Obviously, I made some other changes and didn't try them without the ".tex"). Stupid me.

But since I started the thread: How come the graphic is always shown on its own page?

[frabjous]

The \include command always starts its content on a new page. If you don't want a new page, use \input instead of \include.
