Graphics, Figures & Tables

Please can someone help me??

I have downloaded a new version of WinEdt and MiKTeX from the website, since I have recently formatted my computer. Now when I run my tex file, which contains graphics, I get a pdf file which contains no graphics. The graphics I'm talking about are eps files, of simple graphs like y=cos x. Why am I not having graphs on my pdf file? What's wrong??

Hi,

you cannot use eps files together with pdflatex. Use latex or TeXify instead of pdflatex or pdfTeXify.

What do you mean? I didn't understand, or better, I don't know the meaning of pdfLatex, etc. What button must I use for compilation?

Well, you should revisit the MikTeX site and learn about pdfLaTeX which is being used by the latest releases of MikTeX. pdfLaTeX replaces LaTeX2e. By default it generates pdf files, so you no longer can enclude embedded postscript. However you can change its default behavior so it will generate DVI files which you can convert to PS (so all your EPS graphics will show up), just like LaTeX2e does. You can find everything you need to know about pdfLaTeX on MikTeX site. Sorry, can't give more details since I haven't migrated yet, still runing the old MikteX release, but I will have to do the same sometime soon, so I know it is possible to make pdfLaTeX behave just like LaTeX2e.

Hi,

concerning WinEdt: use the LaTeX or the TeXify button. Just check, what buttons are available, I don't have WinEdt on my computer to tell you where to find the button. Just compile to dvi and convert to ps and pdf, there should be buttons. Avoid buttons called pdfLaTeX or pdfTeXify.
You could also have a look at the WinEdt help regarding this topic or winedt.com or winedt.org.
