No bounding box latex ошибка

Although the question has been answered by @DavidCarlisle in the comment, I’ll try to complete the answer here.

This is not supposed to happen for valid eps files, as they should contain a BoundingBox comment and the graphicx package should be able to read it. The error message is typical when including bitmap graphics, e.g. jpg, as explained here.

In case you have a peculiar eps file which contains a BoundingBox comment but, for some reason, graphicx cannot read it, you can try searching your file. Do this either by opening the file in a text editor or by using something like the grep command:

grep BoundingBox figure.eps

You should normally see a line like:

%%BoundingBox: 0 0 30 30

Then, update your \includegraphics by supplying that:

\includegraphics[scale=1,bb=0 0 30 30]{figure}

In case you cannot find a bounding box (and your eps file is still usable, of course, which may not be the case), I’d suggest that you try guessing it. Start, e.g. with bb=0 0 100 100 and see what you get, then try increasing or decreasing the numbers. They are, in turn: lower-left-x (llx), lower-left-y (lly), upper-right-x (urx), and upper-right-y (ury). The width of the picture is urx-llx and the height is ury-lly.

Hello,
I can include eps figures in my document, but I have most of my graphics in png format. When I want to include a png figure I get the following message:

! LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in fig/BrochierCie_Maroc/fig2.png (no BoundingBox).

this is strange, because if I extract the bounding box with the «ebb» command I get something:

timbrochier$ ebb -v fig2.png
./fig2.png looks like a PNG file…okay
Writing to fig2.bb: Bounding box: 0 0 576 432

… then it looks like if there were a bounding box…?!

I can include this figure but I have to convert it to eps first (with the «convert» command), then there is no problem, but I’m afraid the final pdf will be too heavy if I convert all my graphics to eps… does someone knows how to fix this problem of bounding box, or tell me if i’m doing something wrong?

I’m on Mac OS 10.4, with Texshop.
here are the packages I use:

\documentclass[phd, index, hyperref, prelimtm]{theseUL1_2} % Pour les Phd, remplacer «msc» par «phd»
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} % Pour pouvoir taper les accent directement et non pas passer par \’
\usepackage[francais]{babel}
\FrenchItemizeSpacingfalse
\usepackage{epsfig} % Pour utiliser la commande \epsfig
\usepackage{graphicx} % Pour utiliser la commande \includegraphics
\usepackage{textcomp}

and I include my graphics this way:

\begin{figure}[!h]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=12cm]{fig/BrochierCie_Maroc/fig2.png}
\caption{\label{Fig2_BroMaroc}\textsl{ legend of the figure }}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

Thanks for any help!

You need to run pdflatex and not latex, latex does not support anything other than eps.

I am using Overleaf and must use LaTeX compiler. This is because I use pst-poker which only works with LaTeX or XeLaTeX and want to submit to arXiv which does not accepts XeLaTeX.)

I have several images in formats JPG and PNG. Compiling the paper with XeLaTeX produces no errors, however when switching to the LaTeX compiler each image produces this «No Bounding Box» error.

I saw I need to determine the bounding box this way:

\includegraphics[width=0.8\linewdith,bb=0 0 100 100]{figurefile}

However it does not work, the PDF it produces contains only the 2 pages before the first image appears.

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 (no
BoundingBox)”

I have tried:

1. Use a graphic file format, which saves picture-size information, e.g. EPS

   • .eps is too large, exceeds the size limit of arXiv

2. Use the PdfLaTeX compiler instead of the LaTeX compiler

   • Can’t use PdfLaTeX since it is not compatible with pst-poker.

3. Specify the picture size manually: \includegraphics[scale=0.75, natwidth=640, natheight=480]{picture.jpg}

   • Does not work, I get a white box, no image.

On a similar question someone answered that LaTeX does not support anything other than EPS. — Is that right?

EDIT:
I need the pst-poker package to draw cards symbols as the paper is about a card game.
