General ⇒ unknown file extention : .eps

[me_here_me]

Hi,
I have some images in .eps format and I have trouble including them into latex.

I have included the following packages:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{times}

and the code to include graphics is as below:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[ht]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=1.5in]{imageFirst.eps}
  \caption{First Image.}
\end{figure}

When i build my document in TeXnicCenter is gives the following error:

Unknown graphics extention: .eps

Can someone guide me here. Do I need to include some package?

regards

You can't include EPS graphics files when compiling with pdflatex. Convert these files with the command line tool epstopdf or with the epstopdf package on the fly. When using the package, pay special attention to sections 1.2 and 1.3 of the documentation. In both cases you must have Ghostscript installed.


Best regards

Besides the advise by localghost, the times packages is obsolete. To use the Times/Helvetica/Courier combination , instead of

Code: Select all

\usepackage{times}

you should use

Code: Select all

\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage[scaled=.90]{helvet}
\usepackage{courier}

The l2tabu document can help you to improve you LaTeX code.
