Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Insert a jpg image onto LaTeX.

[Philosophaie]

I am trying to insert a jpg image onto LaTeX.

The error code says: "Undefined Control Sequence"

Code: Select all

\begin{center}
	\includegraphics[scale=0.8]{C:\Users\User\Documents\Conic_Section.jpg}
	\caption{Conic Section}
\end{center}

Use forward slashes. But better not to handle absolute paths. Put the images somewhere LaTeX can find them (or make LaTeX find them).

Added:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{graphics}

but new error

! File ended while scanning use of \Gin@iii.

and it says it is missing a "}" when before I added "\usepackage{graphics}" it was working fine.

[Johannes_B]

You need to load package graphicx instead of graphics.

But this has nothing to do with the incompatible path and is a new problem.


Another issue: You cannot use \caption inside of center. It will raise another error.

This should work (untested as I neither have the graphic file nor a Windows OS):

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{caption} % for \captionof
% or:
% \usepackage{captionof}
% or a KOMA-Script class...
\begin{document}

\begin{center}
  \includegraphics[scale=0.8]{C:/Users/User/Documents/Conic_Section.jpg}
  \captionof{figure}{Conic Section}
\end{center}

\end{document}
