Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Include Graphics not Working

[jrichey]

I am trying to use \includegraphics to, well, include a graphic in the document- however, when I run it I get the following error:

I could not locate the file with any of these extensions:
.png,.pdf,.jpg,.mps,.jpeg,.jbig2,.jb2,.PNG,.PDF,.JPG,.JPEG,.JBIG2,.JB2

The name of the file it's saying it can't locate has no spaces in it. Here's the code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[paper,9.5pt]{article} 
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{color}
\begin{document}

\title{*Title*}
\date{}
\author{}
\maketitle
\doublespace

\includegraphics{image1}

*Stuff*

\end{document}

The file "image1" is a .png file that I pasted into Paint and saved as a .png.

I'm on a PC, running pdfLaTeX in TeXworks.

Is there something else I need to include? What am I missing?

I tested your code with a .png image and no problems occur. You did put that PNG image at the same location as your .tex file, didn't you?

[jrichey]

Both files are in the same folder, yes.

You could post your .log file as attachment here, perhaps we would find the cause inside it.

Here's the whole log file.

Thanks a lot!

LaTeX Warning: Unused global option(s):
[paper,9.5pt].

This has nothing to do with the error, but use a supported paper size and a supported font size instead, for instance a4paper, 10pt or 11pt.

I cannot find a reason at first sight. Perhaps try

Code: Select all

\includegraphics{image1.png}

and ensure that the filename is really correct, not Image1.png for instance.

Tried adding the .png- same error. And don't worry, I've checked that the file name is right at least a thousand times by now.

I've also tried adding \DeclareGraphicsExtentions{.png}, but that didn't help. (In fact, it didn't even recognize the function.)

I noticed that LaTeX listed .png and .PNG as two different file types- image1 is .PNG; could that pose a problem? What is the difference between the two?

The macro name is not correct, it's called \DeclareGraphicsExtensions.

There shouldn't be a difference.

[...] The file "image1" is a .png file that I pasted into Paint and saved as a .png. [...]

Make sure that the file has the right suffix (extension) so that its full name is image1.png.

For some reason, I can open a new document, paste the code from the existing one into the new document, and run it with no problems- the graphics show up with no errors. But, once I save the new file, it runs into the same error with the graphics once again. This is a pretty weird problem- it seems to indicate that there is something wrong with a saved file.

What's going on here?
