Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ includegraphics doesn't show graphics but file name

[csam8754]

Hi there!

I'm having trouble to include graphics into the Biomed Central Latex Template (http://www.biomedcentral.com/authors/tex).

The following code produces the output as shown in the attachement underneath.

It is important to always boil down your code to a minimum working example. Please follow the link to learn how to prepare one.

So, just a shot into the blue: Did you set option demo or draft either as a global option or an option to package graphicx?

[csam8754]

Well, it's not easy for me to reduce the code to a minimum working example since I'm using this massive Biomed Central Template.

However the head of my *.tex file goes like this:

But there are many more files included such as *.sty, *.cls ...

You link is not working. Thanks for your response so far!

[csam8754]

I'm using ShareLatex.com and neither can I find the word "demo" nor "draft" within my *.tex file ...

[csam8754]

Adding "\usepackage{graphicx}" doesn't help either

As seen in the comment block, use percent sign to comment out those two lines.

Now you need to load graphicx in order to have this command defined.

But read the comment block carefully. You need to remove those comments and submit the figures separately.

[csam8754]

Again thanks for your quick response! Unfortunately it's still not working. I am now using /usepackage{graphicx} and commented out the two lines but the outcome is not what I want (see attachement). I did some research on the internet and maybe it as something to do with a demo option of graphicx or something but I don't really get it.

Thanks for the advice with the figures by the way. However it's just a project for university so i think it'll be ok to include some images.

I'm sorry, within the latest post I messed up the file name! ... It's now working. Thank you very much for your help with this question and in the other thread as well!
