The L A TEX <strong>Graphics</strong> Bundle<br />

This part provides an overview of The L A TEX <strong>Graphics</strong> Bundle. More detail can be<br />

found <strong>in</strong> the graphics bundle documentation [7] or the L A TEX <strong>Graphics</strong> Companion<br />

[4].<br />

7 <strong>Graphics</strong> Inclusion<br />

<strong>Graphics</strong> are imported us<strong>in</strong>g the graphicx package’s \<strong>in</strong>cludegraphics comm<strong>and</strong><br />

Syntax: \<strong>in</strong>cludegraphics[options]{filename}<br />

where the options are listed <strong>in</strong> Tables 1, 2, <strong>and</strong> 3. S<strong>in</strong>ce \<strong>in</strong>cludegraphics does not<br />

end the current paragraph, it can place graphics with<strong>in</strong> text such as or .<br />

7.1 <strong>Graphics</strong> Driver<br />

Specify<strong>in</strong>g<br />

A Driver<br />

The user must specify a graphics driver which tells the graphics package how to<br />

process the imported graphic. The graphics bundle currently supports 18 different<br />

drivers, but this document only covers the two most common drivers: the dvips<br />

driver for dvips-style documents 10 <strong>and</strong> the pdftex driver for for pdfL A TEX documents.<br />

If the user wants to use either of these drivers, the driver usually does not<br />

need to be explicitly specified, as the graphics.cfg <strong>in</strong> most L A TEX distributions is<br />

smart enough to specify the correct driver 11 .<br />

If the user needs to specify a driver, it can be specified <strong>in</strong> one of three ways<br />

1. The default can be specified <strong>in</strong> the graphics.cfg file.<br />

2. Any driver specified as a \documentclass option overrides the driver specified<br />

<strong>in</strong> graphics.cfg.<br />

3. Any driver specified as an option <strong>in</strong> \usepackage{graphics} overrides the<br />

drivers specified <strong>in</strong> the previous two manners.<br />

7.2 <strong>Graphics</strong> Inclusion for DVIPS-style Documents<br />

The best-supported graphics format for dvips-style documents is eps. When the<br />

document is processed with latex, the follow<strong>in</strong>g comm<strong>and</strong><br />

\<strong>in</strong>cludegraphics{file.eps}<br />

<strong>in</strong>cludes the graphics from the eps file file.eps at its natural size.<br />

specified filename has no extension<br />

\<strong>in</strong>cludegraphics{file}<br />

When the<br />

then \<strong>in</strong>cludegraphics appends the extensions <strong>in</strong> the \Declare<strong>Graphics</strong>Extensions<br />

extension list (See Section 9.1 on Page 29).<br />

10 Where latex processes the L A TEX file <strong>in</strong>to a dvi file, which then is subsequently processed <strong>in</strong>to<br />

PostScript form by dvips.<br />

11 The graphics.cfg file detects whether the document is be<strong>in</strong>g processed by latex or pdflatex<br />

<strong>and</strong> specifies a dvips option when for latex <strong>and</strong> a pdftex option for pdflatex.<br />
