Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Including diagrams on the title page

[tc105]

Is there a simple way of adding a picture to the title page? It always moves to the second page.
Thanks.

Hi,

just use \includegraphics within the titlepage environment or in a titlepage command. Don't use a figure environment.

I've tried that but even when I put it within \begin{titlepage}...\end{titlepage} it still goes to the next page.
Also the \includegraphics command is still in italics as though it is not recognised.

Build a minimal working example (MWE) that clearly shows the effect you described.


Best regards

Hi,

don't mix \maketitle and the titlepage environment. Here's an example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
  \vspace*{60pt}
  \begin{center}%
    {\LARGE Title \par}%
    \vspace{3em}%
    {\large Author \par}
    \vspace{1.5em}%
    {\large Date \par}%
    \vfil
    \includegraphics[width=120mm]{SP_A0821.jpg}
    \vfil
  \end{center}
\end{titlepage}
\end{document}
