This allows 0131 you to later say something like <code>\includegraphics{lion.png}</code> 0132 instead of having to give its path. 0133 </p> 0134 <p>LaTeX always looks for graphic files first in the current directory. 0135 The declaration below tells the system to then look in the subdirectory 0136 <samp>pix</samp>, and then <samp>../pix</samp>. 0137 </p> 0138 <div class="example"> 0139 <pre class="example">\usepackage{graphicx} % or graphics; put in preamble 0140 ... 0141 \graphicspath{ {pix/} {../pix/} } 0142 </pre></div> 0143 0144 <p>The <code>\graphicspath</code> declaration is optional. If you don’t include 0145 it then LaTeX’s default is to search all of the places that it 0146 usually looks for a file (it uses LaTeX’s <code>\input@path</code>). In 0147 particular, in this case one of the places it looks is the current 0148 directory. 0149 </p> 0150 <p>Enclose each directory name in curly braces; for example, above it says 0151 ‘<samp><code>{pix}</code></samp>’. Do this even if there is only one directory. 0152 Each directory name must end in a forward slash, <samp>/</samp>. This is true 0153 even on Windows, where good practice is to use forward slashes for all 0154 the directory separators since it makes the document portable to other 0155 platforms. If you have spaces in your directory name then use double 0156 quotes, as with <code>{"my docs/"}</code>. Getting one of these rules wrong 0157 will cause LaTeX to report <code>Error: File `<var>filename</var>' not 0158 found</code>. 0159 </p> 0160 <p>Basically, the algorithm is that with this example, after looking in the 0161 current directory, 0162 </p> 0163 <div class="example"> 0164 <pre class="example">\graphicspath{ {pix/} {../pix/} } 0165 ... 0166 \usepackage{lion.png} 0167 </pre></div> 0168 0169 <p>for each of the listed directories, LaTeX concatenates it with the 0170 file name and searches for the result, checking for <samp>pix/lion.png</samp> 0171 and then <samp>../pix/lion.png</samp>. This algorithm means that the 0172 <code>\graphicspath</code> command does not recursively search subdirectories: 0173 if you issue <code>\graphicspath{{a/}}</code> and the graphic is in 0174 <samp>a/b/lion.png</samp> then LaTeX will not find it. It also means that 0175 you can use absolute paths such as 0176 <code>\graphicspath{{/home/jim/logos/}}</code> or 0177 <code>\graphicspath{{C:/Users/Albert/Pictures/}}</code>. However, using 0178 these means that the document is not portable. (You could preserve 0179 portability by adjusting your TeX system settings configuration file 0180 parameter <code>TEXINPUTS</code>; see the documentation of your system.) 0181 </p> 0182 <p>You can use <code>\graphicspath</code> anywhere in the document. You can use 0183 it more than once. Show its value with 0184 <code>\makeatletter\typeout{\Ginput@path}\makeatother</code>. 0185 </p> 0186 <p>The directories are taken with respect to the base file. That is, 0187 suppose that you are working on a document based on <samp>book/book.tex</samp> 0188 and it contains <code>\include{chapters/chap1}</code>. If in 0189 <samp>chap1.tex</samp> you put <code>\graphicspath{{plots/}}</code> then 0190 LaTeX will not search for graphics in <samp>book/chapters/plots</samp>, but 0191 instead in <samp>book/plots</samp>. 0192 </p> 0193 0194 0195 0196 <hr/><div class='referenceinfo'> <a href='https://latexref.xyz/'> <i>Unofficial LaTeX2e reference manual</i></a></div> 0197 </body> 0198 </html>
