How to include graphics in a Texshop doc, pls?

[1365281]

Hello all,

I am trying to find a way of including graphics into TexShop (latex) document.
Used the 2 following command lines but no success:

\usepackage{graphicx}
\includegraphics[width=2in]{Weibull}

I have Image Magic and ghostcript 8 installed. Any suggestions, please?

Do you get any error messages?
What is the name of the file you want to include and where is it in relation to the .tex file?

(If you haven't seen this, it may be helpful)

The image has to be an .eps file (encapsulated postscript).

The image has to be an .eps file (encapsulated postscript).

Only if he's using straight latex. If he's using pdflatex etc. he can use more common formats.

If he's using pdflatex, he shouldn't be specifying \usepackage{graphicsx} in the first place...

I have more command lines now but that's about it

I have followed the link indicated by ergdegdeg and added [final] in documentclass, plus DeclareGraphicsExtensions because I thought I was compiling with pdflatex (a pdf document appears when I typeset). For the same reason I thought I didn't need to have my graphics in eps format.

\documentclass[final]{amsart}
...
\usepackage{graphicx}
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf}
\includegraphics[scale=0.2]{Weibull}

the error message is that my command was ignored.

At this point there is some progress and an issue with finding the graphics containing pdf file. Is there some particular rule to follow about where the graphic files should be located?

should be in the same folder as the .tex file
