Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Bounding Box Issues with EPS File

[nancyh]

I have created an EPS image of a plot produced in Python and used it in my code as below.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.3\textwidth}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,keepaspectratio]{r2_pdf_22.eps}
    \caption{Probability density function for r2}
    \label{fig:pdfr2}
  \end{subfigure}
\end{figure}

(There is more, but it just repeats for each sub-figure and ends.)

I am getting this error message.

Code: Select all

! LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in
r2_pdf_22.eps (no BoundingBox).

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              
                                                  
l.274 ...extheight,keepaspectratio]{r2_pdf_22.eps}

I have tried to search about this, but most people seem to have the error when trying to use JPG, not EPS. I think I need to change the EPS itself, but I can't work out how to do this. I've seen some mention of Ghostscript, but being new to all this I'm not sure how to use it or what to do next.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

You need to compile with LaTeX in DVI mode, i.e. not directly to PDF via pdfLaTeX.

Or, use epstopdf - newer versions of TeX Live could do it automatically for you.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{epstopdf}

I am compiling in DVI mode. I turn it into a PDF later.

Perhaps post the EPS file here, as attachment, for us to check if it's correct EPS.
