First Latex file

a001.tex   a001.pdf

Compile & View

To compile the latex file a001.tex
$latex a001     - assumes latex .tex extension and produces
$a001.dvi     - to view on my Linux box
$xdvi     - and open the file.

dvips -o a001.ps a001.dvi     - for postscript file.
ps2pdf a001.ps for a001.pdf.

Alternatively do not use tex but pdftex and you can include .png graphics images.

Including png Images

<TODO> - migrated to newer versions and this way has broken. Fix.

latex has a complicated way of dealing with bitmap images. Consequently it was recommended that you use

Here is an example where I used Gimp to find the height of img44.png file. I only specified one axis so the package determines the other.

\includegraphics[width=75mm]{img44.png}

Compile the tex file with pdflatex.

Graphics

After declaring the documentclass load the graphics package.
\usepackage{graphicx} % needed for including graphics e.g. EPS, PS

Latex only accepts eps and ps files. See Including png Images.

\begin{figure*}
\centerline{
\mbox{\includegraphics[width=3.00in]{assemblyWorkcellOverview1_0.eps}}
\mbox{\includegraphics[width=3.00in]{assemblyWorkcellOverview1_0.eps}}
}
\caption{Replace text here with your desired caption.}
\label{overView}
\end{figure*}

A less complicated version
\includegraphics[]{img25.ps}
