Dear Kaushik, Partho:
The best method of incorporating graphics in a Latex document is to convert it into an
EPS file. Most paint programs and GIMP on Linux can convert any format into EPS. EPS
files have an advantage that full image information is encoded in the image itself -
which is read by latex to decide where to place the image.
Latex will not show any image under following cursumstances:
1. You are using the draft mode i.e. your document begins with
\documentclass[..., draft]{...}. It will show only the placeholder for the image.
2. Your EPS file is encoded incorrectly and as such Latex is unable to read the
information to determine the placeholder. If such a situation arise you can manually
specify the size of the imagebox. It is always better to specify a slightly bigger
size than what the image requires
Using images in latex require some skills but it is worth it to see the extremely
beautiful layout that latex produces.

PS: According to D. Knuth the correct way to refer to Latex in any text based
corrospondence is "LaTeX" but "Latex" is acceptable but not "latex" - God knows why ;-)

Dear Kaushik,
Please refer to the manuals in /usr/doc/texmf/latex/graphics; as far as I know
LaTeX/TeX can handle eps graphics very well;
However, many times .dvi files refrain from showing the graphics; I have not
come know the reason for this, for sometimes in some machines it does. But, the
graphics shall be clear in .ps conversion with dvips or in the pdflatex output.
