Iam trying to put a figure on my a0poster. But I get the error message: LaTeX error: Float(s) lost; and my figure is suppressed. I have subdivided my a0poster into regions using minipages. My figures are in eps-format. The figures get converted into pdf without problems. Could somebody give me a hint how to overcome my problem?
- Do not use
\centerlinebut\centering - Do not use
\epsfigbut\includegraphicfromgraphicx Do not use floats on a poster as this does not make sense
% arara: pdflatex \documentclass{a0poster} \usepackage[demo]{graphicx} \usepackage{showframe} % for demo \begin{document} \noindent\fbox{% % for demo \begin{minipage}{50cm} \centering \includegraphics[width=20cm,height=10cm]{file=fig_pub/post_hk70_income01.eps} \end{minipage} } % for demo \end{document}
I found a solution to the problem myself: eliminate the figure(begin end) and just enclose
something like
\centerline{\epsfig{
file=fig_pub/post_hk70_income01.eps,
width=20cm,height=10cm}}

2don't use the plain tex
\centerlinein latex (it can place things oddly by trying to make a new paragraph); also, probably best not to use\epsfig(it comes from a reimplementation of an obsolete latex 2.09 package, and confuses old fogies like me :-} ) – wasteofspace Oct 2 '13 at 10:56
figureis a floating environment which doesn't really make sense on a poster, you can just include an image with\includegraphics– David Carlisle Sep 1 '13 at 20:22
