Inclusion of Colored BMP Figures

[Ganz, Frank, SV USA]

Hi Oguzhan,

You have written

 \usepackage[dvipsone]{graphicx}

suggesting that you are targeting dvipsone as you PostScript driver. Yet you are not using dvipsone, but dvi2ps instead.

Either use dvipsone to produce the PostScript or write

 \usepackage[dvi2ps]{graphicx}

Handling of graphics is always driver-dependent. I don't know, though, if dvi2ps is an option to the graphicx package.

On another note, if you are writing something to be given to a publisher, I just want to point out that BMP is an undesired graphics interchange format.

Thanks,
Frank
