Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Placement? Picture leaves a blank area

[DavidM]

Hi everyone,

I am using the following to insert pictures in my file:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
  \begin{center}
    \includegraphics[width=0.50\textwidth, angle = 0]{Name.jpg}
    \caption{Text.}\label{Figure x}
  \end{center}
\end{figure}

The file is 22 pages, and most of the 12 pictures are working well, but two of them are placed at about 1/4th-1/2 of the page, leaving the space above it blank. This looks really strange, and I am wondering what the cause might be? Some notes:

- Most pictures in this file are square graphs, the pictures that cause a problem are rectangular, and much more wide than high
- Every picture in the file gives this error:
"cannot determine size of graphic {no bounding box}"
I just press enter, and for most of the pictures it works fine, but perhaps this has something to do with it?

Help is much appreciated! Thanks,

David

You obviously compiled with latex. It doesn't accept the JPG format for graphics files. Compile with pdflatex instead.
