Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Difficulties with Figures showing up

[ggishallou]

Lately, I have been having difficulties with figures showing up in my LaTeX file. I have added the graphicx package at the beginning, and have used the following code to add a figure:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics{laser_apparatus.eps}
\end{figure}

I made sure the "laser_apparatus.eps" was under the same directory as my paper. When I compile it, it comes up with a box around the area the figure should be located with "laser_apparatus-eps-converted-to.pdf" inside of it. I have tried saving the image as a PDF instead of an EPS file, and this gives me the same thing. Any suggestions as to how I can have my figure show up?

Thank you.

Have you recently changed anything of your TeX distribution, it's hard to believe these problems just showed up out of nothing.

For a start, post a minimal working example so that we can check if we're experiencing the same problem.

As already mentioned, you should prepare a proper minimal example that illustrates the problem to give an adequate description of the problem.

[…] When I compile it, it comes up with a box around the area the figure should be located with "laser_apparatus-eps-converted-to.pdf" inside of it. […]

Delete the 'draft' option wherever you find it. It can be given either globally to the document class or locally to the graphicx package.

And to avoid further problems, abstain from using special characters like blank space and underscores in paths and names of graphics files.
