SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on adding images and nomenclature in a LaTeX thesis report using MiKTeX and TeXnicCenter. Users encountered issues with images appearing as empty boxes due to the default draft option in the graphicx package. The solution is to use \usepackage[final]{graphicx} to display images correctly. Additionally, to change section numbering from 0.1 to a standard format (1, 2, 2.1), users should switch from the report document class to the article document class. For nomenclature, the correct implementation involves using the nomencl package and ensuring proper commands are executed to display the nomenclature list.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX document classes, specifically article and report
  • Understanding of the graphicx package for image handling in LaTeX
  • Knowledge of the nomencl package for creating nomenclature lists
  • Basic LaTeX syntax for sections, subsections, and equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to configure the graphicx package for optimal image display
  • Research the differences between the article and report document classes in LaTeX
  • Explore advanced features of the nomencl package for customized nomenclature lists
  • Investigate troubleshooting techniques for common LaTeX compilation issues
USEFUL FOR

Graduate students, researchers, and academics writing thesis reports in LaTeX, particularly those using MiKTeX and TeXnicCenter who need to incorporate images and nomenclature effectively.

Hello PF,
I am using MiKTex and TeXnicCenter for writing my Thesis Report. I want to add images (.jpg or .eps format) into the report.

The last one I tried was,

\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[scale=0.40]{121127332}
\end{figure}

What I get is just a empty squared box with the file name 121127332.jpg

Although I have been trying various procedures every attempt to add an image has failed.
Can anyone please provide me the right procedure for adding images

Regards

That results from using the [draft] option to graphicx. Apparently MiKTex makes draft the default.

Try using \usepackage[final]{graphicx} instead of \usepackage{graphicx} .
 
Thanks for mentioning about draft. Indeed I have mentioned "draft" in documentclass

Now obtaining proper output. I have yet another doubt. For the sections and subsections I have been obatining the numbers as follows

0.1 Introduction
0.2 blah blah
0.2.1 blah blah

I would like to know how to change the numbers to 1, 2, 2.1, etc. Any suggestions?

Regards
 
It sounds like you are using the report document class, or something similar, but are only using section, subsection, etc. Reports have chapters, sections, subsections, etc. If you don't want chapters you should use the article document class instead.
 
Hi! I have yet another doubt

I would like to add nomenclature for my thesis report. After googling, I tried this sample doc. Yet to obtain the proper results

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{nomencl}
\makenomenclature
\begin{document}
\section*{Main equations}
\begin{equation}
a=\frac{N}{A}
\end{equation}%
\nomenclature{$a$}{The number of angels per unit area}%
\nomenclature{$N$}{The number of angels per needle point}%
\nomenclature{$A$}{The area of the needle point}%
The equation $\sigma = m a$%
\nomenclature{$\sigma$}{The total mass of angels per unit area}%
\nomenclature{$m$}{The mass of one angel}
follows easily.
\printnomenclature
\end{document}

After typing the above, All I get is just the equation

Could you suggest me the right procedure for introducing the nomenclature

Regards
