I was going to use a .jpg file in a figure in a LaTeX document,
on the grounds that an.eps file would be too big.
So I copied the method from Keith Reckdahl's "Using Imported Graphics in LaTeX2e", ie.,
\documentclass[dvips,11pt]{report}
\usepackage{graphicx}
then
use convert myfile.jpg myfile.eps
to get a Bounding Box line, which subsequently becomes the
only line in myfile.jpg.bb
(and deleted myfile.eps)
then
\DeclareGraphicsRule{.jpg}{eps}{.jpg.bb}{`convert #1 'eps:-' }
What *should* happen is that, at dvips, this latter command
translates the .jpg file into an .eps file (specified by
the "eps:" option) and sends the result to standard output
(specified by the "-" specification).
Except that it doesn't.
What I get is:---
dvips: Failure to execute convert Myfile.jpg 'eps:-'; continuing
I have this feeling that something is wrong with the
\DeclareGraphicsRule in that part {`convert #1 'eps:-' }.
Could anyone help, please?
Regards,
Bill Bennett.
