macOS LateX : cannot display any figures

[OneDreamCloser]

hello all,

i am writing my thesis in latex, but i cannot display any figures.

attached is a .zip file containing a master latex document (thesis.tex),
if you open, for example, the Appendix.tex file and UNcomment line14,
and run the script that i have made, named [typeset],
you will see what i mean ...

i would appreciate any help from you, because time is pressing me very much,
thank you.

Just post the headers of your document here and/or answer the following questions:
-Are you using the graphics/graphicsx packages?
-Are the image files in .eps format?
-Are the images in the same directory as your .tex file?

PACKAGES:
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{color}

\usepackage{epsfig}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{algorithm}
\usepackage{algorithmic}

\floatplacement{figure}{H}
\floatplacement{table}{H}

FORMAT:
yes, it is .eps files located in subdirectory _img

COMMAND:
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics{_img/mem_arch.eps}
\caption{Internal architecture of a typical memory.}
\label{img:mem_arch}
\end{figure}
\noindent

thanx for your interest

\includegraphics{_img/mem_arch.eps}

I don't think that's the right path. Try something like

\includegraphics{~/_img/mem_arch.eps}

or

\includegraphics{~/Desktop/_img/mem_arch.eps}

...or better yet just put the .tex file and the eps image in the same directory. That'll make your life a lot easier.

i have already tried both recommendations before, but no luck.

 

[miles01110]

Ok, I typeset your document on my machine and the smaller images work fine. Are you sure that they'll fit on the page? Try something like

\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{_img/image.eps}

edit: oops, never mind. I hadn't un-commented the necessary lines Will look at this later.

please anyone ?

One thing you should try is to typeset each document separately (you'll need to put the necessary \includes statements) to see if the problem is localized.

 

[OneDreamCloser]

it makes no difference (i have tried that).

Try using the epstopdf package. Your problem (at least as it seems for me) is that it doesn't like eps files. Adding this package fixes it for me.

thank you for the tip,
the preamble now contains has "\usepackage{epstopdf}"
but, did you used also anything different such as \DeclareGraphics{...}
or did you change the \includegraphics command at all,
it seems i am not able to make it display ...

thanx

PS. did you manage to display the figure A.1 ?

 

[JoshDC]

Apologies, epstopdf requires pdf(la)tex to work. If you have pdflatex (I guess you do) you can replace all occurrences of latex with pdflatex in your makefile. Even then it seems to have trouble with your traffic_model.eps image for some reason. I would recommend using pdf files instead of eps files.

 

[OneDreamCloser]

i figure out the problem eventually,
some .eps files do not have a specified BoundingBox,
that why they do not appear at all whatever the format is.

now, the question is;
how do i create a BoundingBox in a .eps file ?

Do you have to use EPS figures? Why not convert them to PDF and use pdflatex? It's so much easier...
