[texhax] file path for included images and graphics

[Henrik Frisk]

Hi,

To keep directories clean and tidy I fairly consistently use a
structure for my LaTeX documents using the following scheme:

proj-dir/
    Makefile
    mypaper.tex
    img/
         myimage.ps
    include/
         chapter1.tex
         chapter2.tex
    out/
         mypaper.dvi
         ...

In this setup the mypaper.tex includes the texts in the include/
directory (using \input{include/chapter1.tex}) which uses the images
in the img/ directory. I use make to generate the output.

However, sometimes (quite often actually) I want to use, say
chapter1.tex from the example above in another context, which is fine,
I can just specify the path to the file to my \input {} command. The
problem is with the graphics which are looked up relative to the
master file (mypaper.tex in the example). IOW if I include
chapter1.tex in another context I have to edit the graphics search
paths or copy all the graphics, or copy both the .tex file and the
graphics.

Is there something I'm missing here? Is there a way to specifiy the
path to included documents, graphics or otherwise, relative to the
document with the include, rather than relative to the master file?

best
