Articles, Essays, and Journal Templates ⇒ Can´t add figures to the document

[gape01]

Hi, I´m trying to add figures using the following code:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure*}
 	\begin{center}
 	  \caption{this is a caption}  \label{exemple_01}
 	  \includegraphics[scale=0.3]{exemple_01.png}
 	\end{center}
 \end{figure*}

but it does not work. Can anyone help me?
The error message is:

Code: Select all

! Undefined control sequence.
l.325  	  \includegraphics
                          [scale=0.3]{exemplo_01.png}

You have to load package graphicx.

Also avoid the center environment and use \centering instead.

Welcome to the forum!

To concretize what Johannes said, add \usepackage{graphicx} to the preamble of your document.

And regarding \centering, the correct way is

Code: Select all

\begin{figure*}
\centering
\caption{this is a caption} \label{exemple_01}
\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{exemple_01.png}
\end{figure*}

The effect of \centering is limited by the figure environment, so centering stops with \end{figure*}.
