-<h3>&ldquo;Unknown graphics extension&rdquo;</h3>
-<p/>The LaTeX graphics package deals with several different types of
-DVI (or other) output drivers; each one of them has a potential
-to deal with a different selection of graphics formats. The package
-therefore has to be told what graphics file types its output driver
-knows about; this is usually done in the &lt;<i>driver</i>&gt;<code>.def</code> file
-corresponding to the output driver you&rsquo;re using.
-<p/>The error message arises, then, if you have a graphics file whose
-extension doesn&rsquo;t correspond with one your driver knows about. Most
-often, this is because you&rsquo;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&rsquo;s
-extension is <code>.bedroom.eps</code>, and will complain.
-<p/>The <i>grffile</i> package deals with the last problem (and
-others &mdash; 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&rsquo;re
-running.
-<p/>If for some reason you can&rsquo;t use <i>grffile</i>, you have three
-unsatisfactory alternatives:
-<ul>
-<li> Rename the file &mdash; for example <i>home.bedroom.eps</i>-&gt;
- <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>
