Most of the time, <samp>graphicx</samp> is the 0138 better choice. 0139 </p> 0140 <p>Graphics come in two main types, raster and vector. LaTeX can use 0141 both. In raster graphics the file contains an entry for each location 0142 in an array, describing what color it is. An example is a photograph, 0143 in JPG format. In vector graphics, the file contains a list of 0144 instructions such as ‘<samp>draw a circle with this radius and that 0145 center</samp>’. An example is a line drawing produced by the Asymptote 0146 program, in PDF format. Generally vector graphics are more useful 0147 because you can rescale their size without pixelation or other problems, 0148 and because they often have a smaller size. 0149 </p> 0150 <p>There are systems particularly well-suited to make graphics for a 0151 LaTeX document. For example, these allow you to use the same fonts 0152 as in your document. LaTeX comes with a <code>picture</code> environment 0153 (see <a href="picture.html#picture">picture</a>) that has simple capabilities. Besides that, there are 0154 other ways to include the graphic-making commands in the document. Two 0155 such systems are the PSTricks and TikZ packages. There are also systems 0156 external to LaTeX, that generate a graphic that you include using the 0157 commands of this chapter. Two that use a programming language are 0158 Asymptote and MetaPost. One that uses a graphical interface is Xfig. 0159 Full description of these systems is outside the scope of this document; 0160 see their documentation on CTAN. 0161 </p> 0162 <table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> 0163 <tr><td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="Graphics-package-options.html#Graphics-package-options" accesskey="1">Graphics package options</a>:</td><td> </td><td align="left" valign="top">Options when you load the package. 0164 </td></tr> 0165 <tr><td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="Graphics-package-configuration.html#Graphics-package-configuration" accesskey="2">Graphics package configuration</a>:</td><td> </td><td align="left" valign="top">Where to look for files, which file types. 0166 </td></tr> 0167 <tr><td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="Commands-for-graphics.html#Commands-for-graphics" accesskey="3">Commands for graphics</a>:</td><td> </td><td align="left" valign="top">The available commands. 0168 </td></tr> 0169 </table> 0170 0171 0172 0173 0174 <hr/><div class='referenceinfo'> <a href='https://latexref.xyz/'> <i>Unofficial LaTeX2e reference manual</i></a></div> 0175 </body> 0176 </html>
