Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ beamer, graphicx | Problematic Image File Name

[hbaromega]

If I use figure names such as Y_vs_X_Z0.5.png in beamer, and try to compile using pdflatex, beamer shows error.

However, if I use Y_vs_X_Z0.5.eps and compile using normal latex, it gets
compiled without any error.

My problem is that I have several similar plots and the plots are distinguished only by the value of the parameters, which can have decimals
in their values (e.g. Z=0.5 in my example).

So is there any trick where I can make beamer to overlook the kind of file name which contains characters like dots (.) as in the example that I've mentioned?

Thanks.

This is not too convenient but at least it should work:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
  \begin{frame}{A Picture With a Period in the Name}
    \begin{figure}
      \includegraphics[width=8cm,type=png,read=.png,ext=.png]{Y_vs_X_Z0.5}
      \caption{This picture has the filename \texttt{Y\_vs\_X\_Z0.5.png}.}
    \end{figure}
  \end{frame}
\end{document}

You could try with "epstopdf" package.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{epstopdf}

The grffile package from the oberdiek bundle might be helpful.
