Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Image errors

[Arland]

Here's the code:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.7\linewidth]{C:/xxxxx/te124_f3}
\caption{}
\label{fig:te124_f3}
\end{figure}

this was generated both by using the wizard and dragging the file into TeXstudio. When I try to compile this I get this error:

Code: Select all

"Undefined control sequence 
    \includegraphics

I imagine the rest of the errors come from this as well. Any idea of how to fix this?

A wild guess: Did you load package graphicx? You need this.

Got it. Thanks

Hi Arland,

welcome to the forum!

That's mainly what I wanted to say at this occasion but why not a small addition: if you like to have the image pretty near to where it's placed in the code, you could achieve that by relaxing the default placement options for it:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!htbp]

Just to let you know. It allows placement here, top, bottom, or on its own page, with less restrictions. Educational papers often show images very near to where they are referenced, while bigger books tend to put them "here" or at the top of a page, avoiding too much images on a page (default LaTeX behavior).

Thanks for sharing this. Very helpful. If it is okay, can you put up a link to where I can read up more on handling images? Thanks

A very extensive description on how to influence the positioning can be found on TeX.SX, written by one of the authors of the LaTeX companion.

What else would you like to know?

I am new in Scientific Word, I appreciate if you help.
I have prepared the my file and imported my figures. Now i have to upload my .tex file to a website but only one file is allowed (not pdf) . How should i embed my .wmf files which are for my pictures to .tex file, that when they make pdf file, it recognize the pictures. ?

Hi noo,

welcome to the forum!

I noticed, you posted your question twice, each time attaching to an old thread. There our users hardly can see your new question, even regarding a topic which is different to the one solved in the original thread.

Just open a new topic for each question you have.
