[texworks] texworks Digest, Vol 42, Issue 13

[Gou, Bei]

Dear Vladimir,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply and assistance. 

I do not know if I can send the files to you and you can help me to correct it. I really do not know how to perform several steps, like how to get the 'graphicx' package, how to the figure in .ps format to PDF format, etc. Our school has a very strict rules for installing external programs. We have to apply for the permit first, which is time-consuming.

Thanks a lot again.

Bei

Hello,
** Gou, Bei [2012-01-17 14:10:02 -0800]:

I'm not a Reinhard but could help a little.

1. This mailing list is intended to discuss TeXworks ? the TeX front end. Please see 'http://www.tug.org/mailman/listinfo' page, you need texhax ML.

2. Make a minimal [not]working example, see 'http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=minxampl'

3. Read information about LaTeX, see for example 'http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=tutbitslatex'

4. There are two graphic packages for LaTeX: 'graphics' and 'graphicx'.
In most cases the second is preferable (read documentation about them).
Both are distributed by modern TeX distributions (MiKTeX and TeX Live).

5. LaTeX format is supported by several engines: latex, pdflatex, xelatex and lualatex. First one support images only in EPS format, pdflatex support images in formats: PDF, JPEG, PNG (may be other raster formats).
The most suitable way to include images is following:
<example>
\includegraphics{6bus}
</example>
If you want to set explicitly height of an image use 'height' key, <example> \includegraphics[height=2.0in]{6bus}
</example>
(I take file name from your log file).

There are at least two problems with your document:

1. you use "old" command to insert images, Reinhard suggest to use 'graphicx' package (as would I), you change the document preamble but don't change commands therefore one error message about 'Undefined control sequence'; change all '\psfig' commands like below:
(taken from log file)
change
  \psfig{file=6bus.ps,height=2.0in}
to
  \includegraphics{6bus} %%% don't specify height if image is inserted correctly

To work with both latex and pdflatex and don't bother what engine do you use convert your PS images also to PDF format with the help of 'epstopdf' program (should be available in MiKTeX, if not install apropriate package) like C:\> epstopdf 6bus.ps This command will create file '6bus.pdf'. After that above command '\includegraphics'
will work correctly with latex and pdflatex. Another option is to use 'epstopdf' _package_, just add it to your document preamble.

2. The second problem with math. From log file follows that on line 94, environment 'eqnarray', the '\left{' should have the paired '\right'
command on the same 'line' (i.e. '\left' and '\right' shouldn't be separated by '\\'). Without real document it is hard to say what exactly is wrong. Also consider to switch to 'amsmath' package with more convenient environments 'multline', 'gather', '[fl]align', 'slpit' (see documentation).

You are welcome.
