Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ LaPrint (Undefined Control sequence)

[kramboa]

Hi!
I am trying to add a Matlab figure which have been generated by LaPrint. My code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx,color,psfrag}
\begin{document}
\input{convergence}
\end{document}

convergence.tex:

Code: Select all

Do I need to mention I'm new to this area?

The psfrag package seems to work with regular LaTeX but not XeLaTeX -- further discussion of that here and here. Is there some reason you need to use XeLaTeX rather than regular LaTeX? Nothing in the sample code seems to make use of anything XeLaTeX-specific.

[kramboa]

Oh, no LaTeX would be enough. But just LaTeX is nowhere to be found, I can only choose between XeLaTeX, pdfLaTeX and some more.
I tested with pdfLaTeX in TeX Live now, and it works! (almost) Doesn't work in MikTeX and I thought eps-figures couldn't be used with pdfLaTeX(?)

What left is correct labels, from the code:

Code: Select all

% xticklabels:
\psfrag{x01}[t][t]{1}%

It should display 1, but shows x01. The generated code is correct according to the LaPrint User Guide.

[frabjous]

The newest versions of pdflatex (those from TeXlive 2010 and MikTeX 2.9), indirectly support .eps figures by converting them to pdf in the background. But it doesn't necessary support ps packages like pstricks and psfrag.

I don't really understand how it could be that regular latex cannot be found. Have you tried running latex <filename> from the command prompt?

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that the problem is that you're using TeXworks as an editor, and TeXworks does not typically include a regular LaTeX option in its typesetting menu. Most likely you'll want to add one. Since LaTeX outputs DVI, not PDF, you'll want to set it up to convert the DVI to PS with dvips and the PS to PDF with ps2pdf. There are instructions here. (Or you could a different editor, like Texmaker or TeXnicCenter.)

[kramboa]

I'm a windows user and not very familiar with the command prompt..

You are totally correct! TeXnicCenter did the job using clean LaTeX.

I am very grateful, now I will be able to finish the report in time!
