Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Arguments for includegraphics command inoperative

[mehmet.ali.anil]

When I upgraded from tetex to texlive 2009 , which was a mandatory upgrade I guess since I cannot find the previous one in the repositories.

I have a problem which arose with this upgrade.

Though It can render everything I could render beforehand, I am having trouble about one thing. I cannot use the additional preferences that can be used to edit an image when using \includegraphics function.

For example:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure} [H]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.7\linewidth,angle=-90,trim = 5mm 8mm 10mm 0mm, clip]{example.ps}
\end{figure}

Used to rotate my ps file, trim it, then scale it as specified.
Now, I get an error:

Code: Select all

./Rapor.tex:59:Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted) ...e=-90,trim = 5mm 8mm 10mm 0mm, clip]{example.ps}

If there is only [width=\linewidth] tex doesn't recognize \linewidth and prints:

Code: Select all

./Rapor.tex:59:Missing number, treated as zero...\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example.ps}

and the output file has the text within the square brackets, rather than the image.

Somehow there is a problem or a change in how this usage is interpreted. I am using:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{graphicx}

packages that are related to graphics.

I'm using Kile 2.0.85, but the problem is editor independent, I get the same results with Texmaker.
I am using the exact same .tex sources that I used with tetex engine.
What I've tried:
I installed texlive packages from scratch, with Kile.
I changed the graphicx.sty file with a version that I found on the net.

Those didn't help.

Is it a common problem?
I really need help about this.

Thanks in advance.

Please do the following:

• Create a short, complete example (something we can try out)
• Add \listfiles to your source
• Post the example, log and an example graphic file here.

Thanks for your fast reply, I'm sorry about my vagueness.

I guess I found out what was the problem, but it is still an issue for me:

An easy example would be:

Code: Select all

\listfiles
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage[turkish]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{xkeyval}

\begin{document}
	\begin{figure}
	\centering
	\includegraphics[width=0.5\linewidth]{devre1.ps}
	\end{figure}
\end{document}

Which outputs:

Code: Select all

And the result is 2.pdf, which is what I desire, but I cannot remove babel, since I neeed those Turkish characters.

I recognized that babel is run from /var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/babel/babel.sty , which differs in place, I guess those are the packages that are left from Tetex.
I guess it is clearer now.

Thanks,

Hi,

deactivate the "=" symbol (the turkish option for babel seems to activate it):

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage[turkish]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{xkeyval}

\begin{document}

\shorthandoff{=}

\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=0.5\linewidth]{devrel}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

[mehmet.ali.anil]

Thanks gmedina,

That worked like a charm.

So to conclude for people bumping into this problem:
If Turkish Babel is loaded, it activates the "=" symbol. It results in all options like [width=...] rendered as text, although they are commands. Adding
\shorthandoff{=} right after \begin{document} solves the issue by deactivation this shorthand.

Is this considered to be a bug? Shold I also inform the turkish babel developer?

Thanks for all.
M.Ali
