Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Conflict between packages »color« and »graphicx«

[jpThesis]

I've searched for this and haven't found a working solution yet. It may have to do with the class file used by my school, but I can't fix it.

I'm using TeXShop for Apple on OS 10.4.11 to write my thesis. I'm importing thesis chapters into a final document. My graphics and color packages are:

\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\usepackage{epsfig}

If I only include text chapters, there is no compile problem and I get colored text where it should be.
If I include a chapter with images (all are .eps or .pdf), no dice.

I've attached a folder with an example file. If the main document "example" is opened, you'll see two chapters:

\include{colorChap}
\include{graphicsChap}

comment out the second and it will load fine. To only include the second, comment out the lines for colored text:

\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{Green}{rgb}{0,0.75,0.0}
\definecolor{Blue}{rgb}{0.0,0,0.75}
\definecolor{Tour}{rgb}{0,0.6,0.85}

Any help is appreciated!

Problem resolved.

If you find yourself in this boat, I'd suggest trying the fix posted on http://my.opera.com/application/blog/20 ... s-in-latex.

specifically, comment out these lines of the color style file, color.sty:

%\def\color@hbox{\hbox\bgroup\color@begingroup}
%\def\color@vbox{\vbox\bgroup\color@begingroup}
%\def\color@endbox{\color@endgroup\egroup}

For whatever reason, my computer didn't want to find this file... I guess you're not supposed to muck with it. It can be found in:

Library/TeX/Root/texmf-dist/tex/latex/graphics/

happy writing!

it is a problem with the documentclass. Use it this way:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\let\my@xfloat\@xfloat
\makeatother
\documentclass{ruthesis}
% Create a modified copy of \@xfloat using the kernel definition
\makeatletter
\def\@xfloat#1[#2]{
   \my@xfloat#1[#2]%
   \def\baselinestretch{1}%
   \@normalsize \normalsize}
\makeatother
 
\special{papersize=8.5in,11in} %***for A4-default configurations on servers 

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}

\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{Green}{rgb}{0,0.75,0.0}
\definecolor{Blue}{rgb}{0.0,0,0.75}
\definecolor{Tour}{rgb}{0,0.6,0.85}
