SUMMARY

The discussion centers on issues encountered while using REVTeX4 with LaTeX and MiKTeX on a Windows x64 system. Users experience inconsistent display of EPS figures in DVI and PS files, which is dependent on the method of inclusion. When figures are included using \include, the labels are not recognized, leading to missing references, whereas using \input retains label information. The LaTeX handbook does not address the behavior of labels in included files, leaving users seeking clarity on this limitation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX document preparation system
  • Understanding of REVTeX4 class for scientific documents
  • Knowledge of EPS file format and its specifications
  • Experience with MiKTeX package management on Windows
NEXT STEPS
  • Investigate the differences between \input and \include commands in LaTeX
  • Explore solutions for ensuring EPS figures display correctly in LaTeX documents
  • Learn about label and reference management in LaTeX, particularly with REVTeX4
  • Review troubleshooting techniques for MiKTeX and LaTeX on Windows x64
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for researchers, academic authors, and anyone using LaTeX for document preparation, particularly those working with REVTeX4 and MiKTeX on Windows systems.

I'm having a problem with REVTeX4 and LaTeX. I have four figures in EPS format (although there may be some non-compliance with EPS specs). They are from different applications that claim to export EPS files.

These figures sometimes display in the dvi or ps files and sometimes not. Depends on where they are in the file.
If I put each figure in a separate .tex files (as \begin{figure}...), and
then \include them, they all do display. If I \input them, they do not.

If I use \input, LaTeX2e picks up the figure \labels and uses them in \ref callouts, but if I use \include, the references are not defined. I looked at the aux files, and when using \include, the label info is not there. \protect does not help.

The LaTeX handbook is no help -- it does not say that \label in included files are ignored.

I'm using REVTeX4 and MiKTeX on Win x64, with GSView for x64 (and WinShell as an editor).

Any thoughts?

Why don't you directly import all the files into your main tex file? Wouldn't that be an easier solution?
