Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ image format

[teletubijs1]

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}

\includegraphics[scale=1]{filename.jpg}

\end{document}

latex ->includegraphicx -> browse i cannot find jpg format files, but when i write filename.jpg it works.

However, with eps format files which i can fidn via browser, they dont't work.

How can i get eps format images working?

The first issue sounds like something specific with your editor, which you didn't mention.

What LaTeX distribution and version are you using? The newest versions (MikTeX 2.9/TeXlive 2010) support .eps figures with pdflatex without too much fuss (at least if you ghostscript installed).

For older versions, if you want to use .eps figures with pdflatex you need to load the epstopdf package, and then process with the -shell-escape or -enable-write18 options to pdflatex.

(Otherwise, you need to use plain latex, and then convert the result dvi to postscript and then the postscript to PDF with dvips and ps2pdf.)

Or search the forums. There are at least 30 threads on this topic already.

Texmaker 2.1; miktex 2.9

I get error: !Unknown graphics extension: .eps.

But, thanks, dvi->ps->pdf does the job.
