I've got an image, GIF, JPEG or other ( I can easily convert between most formats) and I want to insert it into a Latex document. Could someone please give me instructions on how to use this. I'm using TeXnicCenter on a Windows system.
You have to convert them to postscript format to use them (at least, I only know how to include postscript images).Hootenanny said:I've got an image, GIF, JPEG or other ( I can easily convert between most formats) and I want to insert it into a Latex document.

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{rotating}
\begin{center}
\rotatebox{0}{\scalebox{1}[1]{\includegraphics[width=4cm,height=5cm]{sphericalcoordinates.eps}}}
\end{center}
imabug said:If you use PDFLaTeX, JPEG files can be included as described by franz.
For regular LaTeX you're stuck with using something like jpeg2ps to convert your JPEG files to encapsulated PS format.
An extra package is not nessesary (atleast not with .jpg files). The following minimal example compiles fine with pdfLaTeX, under MiKTeX.franznietzsche said:I think you need an extra package to do that with pdflatex. Something in place of the \usepackage{graphicx}. I think.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{stone} % stone.jpg <--!
\end{document}

I think you can usee adobe's acrobat reader to change your word document into a pdf file, that is much faster, you can include everything everything in word document.Hootenanny said:I've got an image, GIF, JPEG or other ( I can easily convert between most formats) and I want to insert it into a Latex document.

There are good reasons to keep your graphics in your working directory, see http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=graphicspath but it can surely be done:Hootenanny said:Thanks for your help guys, just to check the image needs to be in the same folder as the LaTex document?

\graphicspath{{../}} % looks for graphic files in the parent directory
\graphicspath{{./figs/}} % looks for graphic files in the sub directory "figs"
You need Adobe Acrobat to do that. Acrobat Reader doesn't give you that capability.dumbobie said:I think you can usee adobe's acrobat reader to change your word document into a pdf file, that is much faster, you can include everything everything in word document.

To insert an image in a LaTeX document using TeXnicCenter on Windows, you can use the \includegraphics
command. This command takes the file path of the image as an argument and will display the image in your document.
LaTeX supports various image file formats such as JPEG, PNG, EPS, and PDF. However, it is recommended to use vector-based formats like EPS and PDF for better quality and scalability.
Yes, you can resize an image in LaTeX using the \includegraphics
command. You can specify the width and height of the image in the command's options, or use the \scalebox
command to scale the image to a specific size.
To center an image in LaTeX, you can use the \centering
command before the \includegraphics
command. This will center the image on the page.
Yes, you can add a caption to your images in LaTeX using the \caption
command. This command should be placed within a \begin{figure}
and \end{figure}
environment. You can also add a label to your image for referencing purposes using the \label
command.
