[Howto] resolve LaTeX error message “Cannot determine size of graphic xxx (no BoundingBox)”

posted in: computer | 0

problem:

LaTeX-Compiler can’t determine the graphic-size, because there is no such information in the graphics-file.

Error messages like: “Cannot determine size of graphic <picture> (no BoundingBox)”

 

solution:

  • use a graphic fileformat, which saves picture-size information, e.g. *.eps
  • OR use instead of the latex the pdflatex-compiler
  • OR specify manually the picture size: \includegraphics[scale=0.75, natwidth=640, natheight=480]{picture.jpg}
