Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ graphics | Trouble with scaled Image

[bilalwehbe]

Hello,

I am having an error when writing \includegraphics[scale=0.40]{fig 1.JPG}. But if I'm removing the scale and writing the following command \includegraphics{fig 1.JPG} the PDF is running but the image is no to the scale I want. Please if anyone can help.

Show what your exactly doing in form of a minimal example.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[pdftex]{graphics}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.40]{fig 1.JPG}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

If I'm writing these commands, the compiler is giving me an error and the PDF is not created. But if I write the following, the program is running but the image is not to scale.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[pdftex]{graphics}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}

\includegraphics[scale=0.40]{fig 1.JPG}

Hi,

welcome to the board!

If I'm writing these commands, the compiler is giving me an error and the PDF is not created.

If you get an error, please tell us the error message. Otherwise it's hard to help.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[pdftex]{graphics}

I think that is the cause - use graphicx instead of graphics. The graphicx package provides the key=value interface, graphics does not. Furthermore, spaces in file names are commonly a problem, I would avoid that.

Even if this already helps, it would be good if you would follow the link to the minimal working example explanation, this would be good for the future.

thank you a lot. Using graphicx made it work.
