Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Problems including .ps figures in a .tex file

[Ultragabu]

Hi. I'm having trouble including a .ps picture in my file. My code is

Code: Select all

\newpage
\begin{figure}[c]
\hspace{-1.5cm}
\includegraphics[scale=0.9]{sz.ps}
\end{figure}

And this picture is included just fine (I use latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf), but when I try to include a diferent .ps file, the compilation is carried out without problems but the page where the picture is supposed to be in is a blank.

I can visualise both pictures with irfanview so I know they're ok, so what could be the problem? Could it be the .ps file size?

Hi and welcome,

the placement option c for LaTeX is not defined by default. It is possible that you have a package defining it, i am not aware of one though.

Try including the picture in a blank document, does it work? If not, can you upload the log-file to the forum server for review?
If it works, then there might be some monkey business in your real document. But let's check the first things first.

I included the pic in a .tex file without anything but the picture. It compiles without error but the result is a blank page.


This is my code:

Code: Select all

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\documentclass[10pt,letterpaper]{article}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% PACKAGES %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\usepackage{geometry}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{fancybox}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{pst-plot}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}
\usepackage{epsf}

\begin{document}

\newpage
\begin{figure}[]
\hspace{-1.5cm}
\includegraphics[scale=0.9]{AnaFig1.ps}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

The log and the picture I'm trying to include are attached to the post.

Welcome to the forum!

The picture was created using (La)TeX and PSTricks. So you could include the (La)TeX source instead of the PS file.

Or, convert the file using the epstopdf script, and use it with pdfLaTeX. Possibly epstopdf is already installed on your machine, try that command at the command line, i.e. in a terminal window.

Such pictures can also be created using TikZ.

I have included the pdf version of that .ps picture and it works with pdflatex... but do you have any clue why some .ps picture would be loaded and others don't when I use (latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf) to compile my code?

Once the picture was already made does it matter whether it was created with pstrick or something else?

Thank you.

Perhaps attach the .ps and .pdf output for investigating.
