I use Ubuntu and TeXLive. When asking a question one is requested to provide an MWE. Sometimes an MWE needs to include an image, which should then be available to anyone who wants to process the MWE. I do not want to make some of my images generally available, e.g., for copyright reasons. By searching back through old questions I found that an image called example-image
seemed to be generally available in TeXLive. I also recall seeing a tiger
image somewhere or other (try texdoc tiger
) but when I tried to include it in a draft MWE I got an error saying file not found
. Is there any list/catalogue of images that could be used in an MWE that any TeXLive (or other) distribution would provide.
What I, and I assume others, would like to do is:
\includegraphics[...]{IMAGE}
where IMAGE
is generally available, but could be one of a variety of images. My latest MWE would ideally include 12 different images but only uses one.
example-image
is from themwe
package, which makes minimal examples easier to construct.mwe
package installed to have access toexample-image
(and the like), but you don't have to add\usepackage{mwe}
to your preamble. Most people probably install the entire TeX Live, which would includemwe
.\rule{3cm}{2cm}
or whatever size you need to make something with the same positioning logic but no dependencies
