Graphics, Figures & Tables

Hi,

I include my eps-files with \includegraphics.

I remember that it was possible to have only empty boxes in the document instead of the pictures, but I cannot find how it was possible. Does anyone know this?

I remember that there was some kind of command in the beginning of the document which let the eps-pictures be apear as empty boxes.

My problem is that otherwise the dvipdf-command takes to long time while I still work on the document.

Thanks for help!

Hi lattice,

welcome to the board!

Use draft as option to the document class or to the graphicx package.

If you are running a current version of the common TeX distributions (MiKTeX 2.9, TeX Live 2010), you can compile directly with PDFLaTeX. The EPS files will be converted once on the fly and their inclusion should not consume so much compilation time any more. This way you would not need to exclude them.

Best regards and welcome to the board
