11 Including Graphics in Your Document

11.1 Graphic File Formats


There are a number of graphics formats out there, such as:
1. bmp
2. eps
3. gif
4. jpg
5. pdf
6. ps
LaTeX works best with the postscript formats (eps, ps) which were around
when the program was rst created. For the other formats, LaTeX may or may
not work; you would be safer trying PDFLaTeX, which will produce a PDF
document.
11.2 Graphics Package
If you are going to include graphics in your document, you will need to ask
LaTeX to use a package of graphics commands: place \usepackage{graphicx}
in the preamble.
11.3 Including Graphics Within Your Document
You use the \includegraphics{graphicfile} command to include your graphic
le in your document.
If you wish to control the size of the document, you can also specify the height
and width: \includegraphics[height=2in, width = 3in]{graphicfile}.
