How to insert an image into a LaTeX document?

Question

Programming

I use the pdfLaTeX compiler. I add packages in the preamble (with a link to the pictures internal directory):
\usepackage{graphicx}
\graphicspath{{pictures/}}
Trying to insert an image with:
\includegraphics{car.jpg}
uh... nothing works. What to do? How to insert an image?

Answer 1

This command works with eps, not jpg.
In general, you are here:

and here:
dxdy.ru/topic3870.html
and it is important whether you compile with latex or Pdflatex.
Also, Pdflatex does not understand images in eps format.
How to make pdflatex see your eps images? Connect the cmap
\usepackage{cmap} package, after \usepackage{graphicx} insert \usepackage{epstopdf}
Epstopdf is part of MikTeX, if it is not installed for some reason, install the Oberdiek package via the Package Manager. (A bundle of packages submitted by Heiko Oberdiek). Your eps pictures will be converted to pdf - files with the same name will appear - but with the pdf extension.
