Re: [MiKTeX] LaTeX Figure

[Charley H. <cha...@uc...>]

Kevin -

Two possible solutions:

WORKS:
use \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
in your preamble.  This automagically sets the graphics
extensions to .pdf, .png, .jpg (I think).  I don't use
pdflatex.

SHOULD WORK:
Try something like:

% This checks for a counter defined only in pdftex
% and declares the graphics extension accordingly.
\ifx\pdfoutput\undefined%
\DeclareGraphicsExtension{.eps}%
\else%
\DeclareGraphicsExtension{.pdf}%
\fi%

Note the (probably irrelevant) % signs to avoid unwanted
spaces.  I always forget when this matters (usually only
in package development, but...), so I always include them.
\pdfoutput is a counter defined in the pdftex.cfg
(I *think*).  Testing it in interactive mode:

C:\>pdflatex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10a (MiKTeX 2.2)
**\documentclass{report}
{pdftex.cfg}
LaTeX2e <2001/06/01>
Babel <v3.7h> and hyphenation patterns for english, french, german, nge
mylang, nohyphenation, loaded.

I like solution 2 since it seems more elegant, but
the pdftex option to graphicx may do more than just
\DeclareGraphicsExtension{}.

Good luck.
