General ⇒ eps figure not showing

[Johannes_B]

You are giving some information, but i cannot process them. The styleguide is the sample file given by the journal. Did you compile that?

Your log stops mid-compilation. This is certainly unusual. log and the acompanying tex don't seem to match.

Please try to prepare a minimal working example and post it as well as the log.

First thing would be to check, if this is somehow related to the class file.

Hi Johannes,

Yes, I was able to compile the Journal's styleguide file.
I modified styleguide.tex as a minimal working example, and attached to this message.
Compilation now works with both pdflatex and xelatex; The problem is that the .eps file is still not showing (not even when I compile using xelatex).

I am attaching the log file for the current example as well.

Thank you so much,
Asaf

If i remember correctly, you give the width and height of the figure, and then the filename. Right now, you get a message, that the a box vertically too full by 240pt, meaning the picture might have went down the page. Can you show us the picture as well? It might have some additional white space.


btw: The journal should update its template file. Doing stuff like that is obsolete for quite some time.

Dear Johannes,

Here comes the figure; The eps format exceeded max size, so I could only attach a screenshot (please let me know if you need the .eps still, and can point to an online zip file location that includes it ).
It is the default figure used by the journal for the styleguide (all the more strage, as per your last comment).

I really appreciate all your help!

Thank you,
Asaf

Does the journal has some web page with authors instructions?

[asafw]

Yes! Here it is:

Can't tell you how much I appreciate the help.

Everything is working for me except it looking pretty ugly.

Doing the long run using latex to dvi, dvips and ps2pdf gives good results.

Why your run is aborting within the alorithm section, i have no idea. You can try to update your TeX distribution, trash all the auxiliary files and try again.

In the end, the journal has to take care of the final publishing process. :-)

Which file size is it? I could raise the file limits here in the forum, just need to know about the size.
Don't want to make it much too high.

Let us know if there's still a problem.

Hi Johannes and Stefan,

Thank you again.
The (picture) file I was trying to upload was 850K.

Johannes, I just tried compiling with xelatex after trashing aux files; It runs through this time, but figure not showing..
I'm sorry for the bother, but may I ask layman instructions for how to run it "the long way" (latex to dvi, dvips and ps2pdf)? I am familiar only with the very basic controls of TexWorks (the drop-down menu which I use to run xelatex does not show any of these).

Thanks a million.
Asaf

Texmaker, available for windows, mac and linux, provides a menu to choose the different tools.


Can you upload the file just generated with XeLaTeX along with the log-file?
