[texhax] Inserting Graphics in LaTex Documents

Hi Jean-Guy,
first your minimal example is not complete - not very helpful.

I take my own pic-include.tex compiled with 'latex pic-include':

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
Documents\LaTex\EPS Files}

\begin{figure}[thb]
 \begin{center}
 \includegraphics[width=.2\textwidth]{plot}
 % plot.eps: 0x0 pixel, 600dpi, 0.00x0.00 cm, bb=152 480 372 735
 \end{center}
\caption{Plot of the function $\sin x$}
\label{sineplot}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[thb]
\begin{center}
 \includegraphics[width=.2\textwidth, bb=152 480 372 735]{%
   images/plot.eps} 
% plot.eps: 0x0 pixel, 600dpi, 0.00x0.00 cm, bb=152 480 372 735 
\end{center} 
\caption{Plot of the function $\sin x$  2} 
\label{sineplot2}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[thb]
\begin{center}
 \includegraphics[width=.2\textwidth, bb=152 480 372 735]{%
   images/my plot.eps} 
% plot.eps: 0x0 pixel, 600dpi, 0.00x0.00 cm, bb=152 480 372 735
\end{center} \caption{Plot of the function $\sin x$ 3}
\label{sineplot2}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

The result is given in the pic-include.dvi, where you can see that tex
does not handle spaces in path or file name (third \includegraphics).

I'm on linux thus I can't check if tex will take a full qualified path 
starting with hd (c:\....). Best practise is to put all pictures
into a subfolder (e.g. images) below your tex input folder, then they
will be always found as shown above, even without given path (first
\includegraphics).

For further info have a look on (given in a command line): 
texdoc FAQ-graphicspath.html
texdoc FAQ-dvipsgraphics.html

Hope that helps.
Peter
