How do I show a picture?

\begin{figure*}[tcb] \centering \includegraphics[width=1.0\textwidth]{result2} \caption{The input test images. Images 7 and 8 are arbitrarily collected in the internet.} \label{fig:result2} \end{figure*}

I had put the result2.eps in the root for directory.
Why can I not see the picture of "result2.eps"?

Maybe you are using PDFLaTeX and eps images won't be recognized. Try the following example: copy and paste the below code and process this new document with latex (not PDFlatex) to get a .dvi file:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[htb]
   \centering
   \includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth]{result2}
   \caption{test image}
   \label{fig:result2}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

Remarks: 1) make sure that the file resul2.eps is in the same directory as the above .tex file (this restriction can be avoided, but do it this way for the moment).
2) Process the document using latex, not pdflatex.
3) If you want to use pdflatex directly, then you should work with images with extensions .pdf .png .jpg

\documentclass[12pt]{report}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps}

I add the three lines and it appears an error as below:
LaText Error: unkown graphic extension .eps
See the LaTex manual or LaTex Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.

I get the answer that Build Ouput must be "LaTex ==> PS => PDF".
