Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ color package incompatible with figures?

[terry7788]

I am writing a thesis. The compilation worked well but, recently after I added a line of \usepage{color} because I need to use color for some text, there is always a error of "Too many }'s" appearing at every place importing a graphic, as below:

======== quoted from TEX file ======<BEGIN>

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[tb]
\centering\includegraphics[width=0.8\linewidth]{fig/concepts}
\caption{...}
\label{fig:concepts}
\end{figure}

======== quoted from TEX file ======<END>
======== quoted from log file ======<BEGIN>

Code: Select all

 <use fig/concepts.pdf>
! Too many }'s.
\color@endbox ->\color@endgroup \egroup 
                                        
l.57 \end{figure}
                 
You've closed more groups than you opened.
Such booboos are generally harmless, so keep going.


! LaTeX Error: \begin{document} ended by \end{figure}.

======== quoted from log file ======<END>

I asked my friends and searched on Internet for several days but still cannot solve the problem. I would really appreciate if anybody can help me out. Thank you very much!

I've attached the TEX file and the LOG file for your reference.

Hi Terry,

welcome to the board!
It would work if you remove the definition of \@xfloat. Check if you really need that.

Try the xcolor package instead and see if its working.

Dear Stefan,

I am experiencing the same problem. However, I don't know how to apply the above change as there is no \x@float in my stuff, or at least I can't locate it. I don't see it in the color package anywhere either. I'll attach my log file with the hope that you can locate my problem as well.

TIA,

Located it (in the thesis style I'm using). Thanks anyhow.

I am having the same problem. I am also working on a thesis, but the float redefinition is nowhere to be found in the style file. Is there something else that could cause this problem?

[josephwright]

Please provide some information on what you are actually doing!

Here is a pretty minimal example that produces problem (for use together with the attached style file):

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
%\documentclass{byuPhDprop}

\usepackage{pgf}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,shapes,automata,backgrounds}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[htb]
  \centering
    \begin{tikzpicture}[node distance=7mm, line/.style={>=latex}]
      \tikzstyle{vertex} = [circle,draw=black, fill=white, minimum size=10mm]
      \node[vertex] (x) at (0,0) {$x$};
    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

If you leave the first line un-commented, and run pdflatex, this produces a pdf with just a drawing of a circle in it labeled with an x.

If you comment out the first line and un-comment the second, so that it's using the style file, then I get this error:

Code: Select all

! Too many }'s.
