I'm using \documentclass[final]{siamltex}
to write a paper. Within the document I'm trying to use a function \psfig. I have used the following syntax successfully in other papers that I have previously written:
\begin{figure}
\centering
\psfig{file=myfile.eps, height=2in, width=2in,}
\caption{This is my caption.}
\end{figure}
However, when I use it in this file, I get an undefined control sequence error. How do I fix it so that it will display my post-script images? Do I need to use a special package? Is there something wrong with my syntax?
epsfig
package but latex has had a standard graphics inclusion mechanism since latex2e in 1993, epsfig emulates the old psfig package for\psfig
usage in latex 2.09 documents from the 1980's – David Carlisle Dec 11 '12 at 18:46\includegraphics
and thegraphicx
package (epsfig
is just a thin wrapper that defines\psfig
in terms of\includegraphics
) – David Carlisle Dec 11 '12 at 19:47psfig
is definitely not for the novice -- it's not free, and so won't be in your (la)tex distribution. to use it, therefore, you have to learn about latex package installation. put it behind you, and learn to swim in the tides of the 1990s (when psfig was superseded ;-) – wasteofspace Dec 11 '12 at 20:03
