I have a picture of a chart I want to include in my beamer presentation

I have included the following in my preamble

\usepackage{graphicx}
\graphicspath{C:/Latexpics/}

I am using MikTeX, when I use the command

\includegraphics{Chart}

I get an error saying file chart not found

Obviously i have something set up wrong, in the file path i have tried .jpeg, .png, and .pdf

I am using pdflatex

any help on where my mistake is would be immensely apprec

The correct syntax should be \graphicspath{{C:/Latexpics/}} with an additional set of braces – egreg Apr 22 '12 at 15:25
Why don't put the image in a sub folder of your main input file? For example, if you put in Images sub folder, then you set \graphicspath{{Images/}}. – Click Me Apr 22 '12 at 15:25
I corrected the \graphicspath command, it still gives me the same error. Which file type should i place in the folder? Is should i be including the extension type somewhere. Thanks for the quick responses, I am fairly new to latex and have never been able to figure out including images – user12291 Apr 22 '12 at 15:35
Disregard, the fix worked – user12291 Apr 22 '12 at 15:38

The easy way to include images is just to make sure the image is in the same directory as your .tex file. Then when you are including your graphics, you don't have to bother with a path at all. Just have

\usepackage{graphicx}
...
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{chart.pdf}

and everything should be fine.
