Thread Subject: How to include an image into .tex files

Hi, I am writing a Latex file. And I want to include an
image into it. But I find that the image included must be PS
file. So how to change the image into PS file?

Now, I know the command to include the image files with
extension .eps, but I have not find how to include the image
*.bmp into the Latex file.

Using print, you can print your figures as eps instead of bmp/jpeg. So
you can open the file (I'm assuming you have an existing bmp one since
you originally asked about conversion), and then print it. The quality
will be lower than just recreating the image (assuming you generated
it in Matlab originally), however.
However, if you really don't want to print in eps - I'm not sure if
bmp is allowed by LaTex, but you can always use jpeg format by using
the pdftex package... Of course, you didn't need matlab for this -
even Windows Paint could do this conversion from bmp to jpeg.

You can use saveas as well.

1. saveas(gcf,'star.ps', 'psc2') % colored save
2. saveas(gcf, 'star.ps') % without color

3. set(gcf, 'PaperPositionMode', 'auto');
   print signal.pdf
% this one controls the mode of the saved pdf

I normally save the figures in pdf when i put them in latex.
4. orient landscape
   saveas(gcf,'a.pdf')

A small improvement
saveas(gcf,regexprep(get(gcf,'FileName'),'fig','pdf'))
