[Dvipng] DviPng and EPS Images

[Bobby Soares]

I wonder if someone can shed some light on this - i'm using dvipng with
miktex on Windows and it reports that it can't find the EPS images and
leaves them blank (even though the images are around and display correctly
in the DVI). I'm sure i'm missing something simple but i couldn't find
anything on the web (i'm not a LaTeX pro).

Here is the output:

Any thoughts?

That looks like your image-inclusion package does not enclose the
filename within quotation marks. What package are you using? What
inclusion command are you using?

\documentstyle[conf_iap,epsf]{article}

This is a really old document, with the \documentstyle invocation from
LaTeX 2.09. It uses the epsf package to include images.

\centerline{\epsfxsize=4.5in\epsfbox{pbkwiap98F2.eps}}

And here is an image inclusion. These old packages does not behave like
the newer ones (and it's not like they're well documented). I suspect
the whole thing will work if you insert quotation marks around the
filenames, like \epsfbox{"pbkwiap98F2.eps"}. I will change dvipng so
that this will work in the next release.

The other option would be to use the graphicx package (minus the
pdflatex option, I think), like this:
\includegraphics[width=4.5in]{pbkwiap98F2.eps}
