Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ multiple graphics paths in one document

[alexhewitt13]

Hi,

Ive searched the community to find an answer but not had much success other than this post: http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... =45&t=9834 which although it had the title i was looking for it didnt answer the question id hoped.

I want to have a report with quite a few graphics in from several different folders. I have a lot of graphics and hence to maintain organisation have kept them in separate folders. I understand how to use the graphics path to find an image but is it possible to have multiple graphics paths in one document so i dont have to transfer all the images to the same folder?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Yes, you can do it.

The alternative is to use the graphics package command \graphicspath; this command is of course also available to users of the graphicx and the epsfig packages. The syntax of \graphicspath’s one argument is slightly odd: it’s a sequence of paths (typically relative paths), each of which is enclosed in braces. A slightly odd example (slightly modified from one given in the graphics bundle documentation) is:

Code: Select all

    \graphicspath{{eps/}{png/}}

which will search for graphics files in subdirectories eps and png of the directory in which LaTeX is running. (Note that the trailing “/” is required.)
