The package -therefore has to be told what graphics file types its output driver -knows about; this is usually done in the <<i>driver</i>><code>.def</code> file -corresponding to the output driver you’re using. -<p/>The error message arises, then, if you have a graphics file whose -extension doesn’t correspond with one your driver knows about. Most -often, this is because you’re being optimistic: asking -<i>dvips</i> to deal with a <code>.png</code> file, or PDFTeX to deal with -a <code>.eps</code> file: the solution in this case is to transform the graphics -file to a format your driver knows about. -<p/>If you happen to <em>know</em> that your device driver deals with the -format of your file, you are probably falling foul of a limitation of -the file name parsing code that the graphics package uses. Suppose -you want to include a graphics file <i>home.bedroom.eps</i> using the -<i>dvips</i> driver; the package will conclude that your file’s -extension is <code>.bedroom.eps</code>, and will complain. -<p/>The <i>grffile</i> package deals with the last problem (and -others — see the package documentation); using the package, you may -write: -<blockquote> -<pre> -\usepackage{graphicx} -\usepackage{grffile} -... -\includegraphics{home.bedroom.eps} -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -or you may even write -<blockquote> -<pre> -\includegraphics{home.bedroom} -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -and <i>graphicx</i> will find a <code>.eps</code> or <code>.pdf</code> -(or whatever) version, according to what version of (La)TeX you’re -running. -<p/>If for some reason you can’t use <i>grffile</i>, you have three -unsatisfactory alternatives: -<ul> -<li> Rename the file — for example <i>home.bedroom.eps</i>-> - <i>home-bedroom.eps</i> -<li> Mask the first dot in the file name: -<pre> -\newcommand*{\DOT}{.} -\includegraphics{home\DOT bedroom.eps} -</pre> -<li> Tell the graphics package what the file is, by means of options - to the <code>\</code><code>includegraphics</code> command: - -<pre> -\includegraphics[type=eps,ext=.eps,read=.eps]{home.bedroom} -</pre> -</ul> -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>grffile.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of the <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek.zip">macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/">browse</a>) collection -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=unkgrfextn">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=unkgrfextn</a> -</body> |
