Discussion Overview

The discussion focuses on adding images and nomenclature in a LaTeX thesis report, specifically using MiKTeX and TeXnicCenter. Participants explore issues related to image inclusion and numbering of sections and subsections, as well as the proper implementation of nomenclature.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant reports difficulty in adding images to their thesis report, receiving only an empty box instead of the image.
  • Another participant suggests that the issue may stem from using the [draft] option in the graphicx package, recommending the use of \usepackage[final]{graphicx} instead.
  • A participant acknowledges the draft issue and seeks advice on changing section numbering from a format like 0.1 to a standard format like 1, 2, 2.1.
  • One response indicates that the participant may be using the report document class and suggests switching to the article document class if chapters are not needed.
  • A participant expresses a desire to add nomenclature to their thesis report and shares a sample document that does not produce the expected results, only displaying the equation.
  • Participants are asked for guidance on the correct procedure for introducing nomenclature in LaTeX.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the issues related to image inclusion and section numbering, but the discussion on nomenclature remains unresolved, with no consensus on the correct procedure.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include potential misunderstandings of document classes and package options, as well as the need for further clarification on nomenclature implementation.

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
