Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Error when trying to add pictures

[naufrager]

Hello !

My images doesn't show up on my LaTex (I use Miktex and TexMaker).

I have tried many many things, including many formats like .jpg, .eps, .ps ... but there's no format working properly.

In .eps format, the image is detected by LaTeX (when i change the path, it says "image not found") but it appears as a white square.

In .jpg format, I get this error message :

! LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in Rplot.jpg (no BoundingBox).

Here is the code I used :

    \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}    
    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

    We chose to study the temperature of London.
    \begin{itemize}
       \item Date : Month/Year from January 2009 to December 2019 
       \item Temperature: Average temperature in London($^{\circ}$C)
       \item Rain (mm)

    \begin{figure}[ht!]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=90mm]{Rplot.eps}
    \caption{A simple caption \label{overflow}}
    \end{figure}
    
    
    %%\includegraphics[width=3in]{Rplot.eps} 
    
   
    
    
    \end{document}

Please note that I have tried with an without options *dvips* and *final* when calling the package *graphicx*

Any ideas ?

Thanks !

Welcome to the forum!

jpg and png are supported by pdfLaTeX, while eps is supported by classic LaTeX in DVI mode. Choose the right compiler version.

For eps files, compile with LaTeX to dvi and then to ps / pdf (dvips/ps2pdf), editors can have compiler settings for doing that. You may post your .log file here, as attachment, as well as the .eps file (maybe that is not a valid one) - we could test that.

[EDIT: FIXED ! see below]

Thanks !

Got that. In TexMaker, I chose this "fast compiler" option:

It still doesn't work ...

Oh, and here is the .eps file I use https://mega.nz/#!o8FDFC4B!OPRoqpCCSSZZ ... b3WZ77ifKw

[Ijon Tichy]

LaTeX + dvips does not support JPEG. You have either to convert the JPEG to EPS or use PDFLaTeX, LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX to generate the PDF without using DVI and PS as intermediate formats.

[naufrager]

But the thing is that I use a .eps file.

EDIT : I got it to work in the end. It's really weird, but with the .png or .jpg format, it worked with PdfLaTex compiler. I really don't know how as it's just what I did 10 times before trying things out with a .eps format in LaTeX + dvi2ps + ps2pdf and it never worked before (I had the "Cannot determine size of graphic in Rplot.jpg (no BoundingBox)." error)

So, in the end, i'll stay with jpg and png formats using the PdfLaTex compiler in TexMaker.

However, I'm still a bit frustrated not to have achieved to make it work with .eps formats

[Ijon Tichy]

The conversion of EPS to PDF can be done on the fly. If you use a TeX distribution that does not do this automatically you can explicitly use package epstopdf. And XeLaTeX does also support EPS. And I've also told you another choice if you insist in using LaTeX + dvips …

[Stefan Kottwitz]

That eps file works me. Also with pdfLaTeX. I use TeX Live 2019 though.

it never worked before (I had the "Cannot determine size of graphic in Rplot.jpg (no BoundingBox)." error)

Well that bounding box error points to non-pdfLaTeX since LaTeX requires a bounding box when it expects an eps file. That's the line %%BoundingBox: 0 0 649 413 in your eps file, which is not in a jpg file. At some time when you updated your LaTeX distribution (or installed a new one), you can try again using eps files with pdfLaTeX, or with \usepackage{epstopdf} right now.
