General ⇒ Need urgent help!: how to remove filename when including gra

[banchongsan]

Hi. I am a beginner of Latex. I have a simple question yet very urgent. Now I am trying to include a jpeg graphic using texniccenter. The enviroment is \usepackage{graphicx}. I use the following command:

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=1.00\textwidth]{C:/Program Files/texpic/1.jpg}
\end{figure}

The problem is: when the .tex file is converted to PDF, 'Files/texpic/1.jpg' appears above the graphic in my PDF file. How can I remove this???

I would appreciate your quick reply as I have to submit my work soon.

Thank you

Boong

No blank spaces in the graphics path! Place the graphics files in a subdirectory of your source code (e. g. "gfx").

The next time you should avoid vocabulary like "urgent", because that is completely futile regarding the problem.

Thans for your advise, localghost. But I still don't understand what you mean by "Place the graphics files in a subdirectory of your source code (e. g. "gfx")". Can you explain me once again?

Thanks.

Normally, you have a directory for your project (a thesis or something else), because (pdf)latex generates some more files than only the output. This may serve as an example.

Code: Select all

D:\Projects\Thesis
D:\Projects\Thesis\gfx

In the first directory you put the source (.tex) files of the document you are writing. (pdf)latex will generate some important auxiliary files (.aux, .log, …). The second directory (subdirectory of the first one) is the place where you put your graphics files. Taking your example, the code for including a graphics file is the following.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!ht]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{gfx/1}
  \caption{Picture No. 1}\label{fig:picno1}
\end{figure}

You can omit the ending of the file, because pdflatex will find the right file on its own. With this there will be no more path strings in your output. And you have all your files related to a project together in one directory.
