Hi, thanks for the info. yes, eps is nice because for normal graphs the size is much smaller than jpg, and you can edit the source and you can scale it without loss of res etc. and they DO show up in the .dvi file. MATLAB which I use for data analysis can export figures to .eps, so it all meshes together nicely.
I sometimes need to go for jpg though because of the original format of some graphic and the 'graphix' package handles this well, but the jpg figure doesn't come out in the dvi, but is fine in the .ps or .pdf conversions. does anyone know if a newer version of xdvi or other dviviewer supports displaying jpg ? thanks -kg On Mon, 17 Feb 2003, Partha Pratim Ghosh wrote: > 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; it can also handle other formates like >png (and also possibly jpg, I am not so sure).
