[Tex/LaTex] Demo option for graphicx in memoir

graphicsmemoir

How can I activate the demo option for the graphicx package when using memoir? Is there an equivalent option in memoir?

When I try:

\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}

I get:

! LaTeX Error: Option clash for package graphicx

Update (solved)

Memoir does not load graphicx, so the solution is to add \usepackage[demo]{graphicx} before any other package loads graphicx, as @egreg pointed out in the comments.

Best Answer

As the comments point out, I can just add \usepackage[demo]{graphicx} in the preamble. The option clash has nothing to do with memoir.

I am loading other packages in the preamble which is why I believe I had the option clash. The problem was resolved when I added \usepackage[demo]{graphicx} at the beginning of the preamble (before any other packages were added).

As a reference, I was adding these packages in the preamble:

mathpazo
tikz
ragged2e
fontenc
listings
hyperref
geometry

These option clashes happen when a package is requested to be loaded on two different positions, like by you and inside another package, but with different options. The package is loaded by the first \usepackage (or its twin \RequirePackage); it isn't loaded again when it is requested again. It simply can't be loaded a second time. Therefore the new options can be activated and previous options might conflict with the second usage. So LaTeX creates an error to report this issue to you.

The way to fix this is to declare the options beforehand using \PassOptionsToPackage{<options>}{<package>}. Then they are used wherever the package is loaded.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf
    \PassOptionsToPackage{pdftex,usenames,dvipsnames}{color}
    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
    \usepackage{libertine} % most likely loads 'color' itself
    %\usepackage{lmodern} % doesn't load 'color'
    \usepackage{color}
    \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\else
    %\bye
\fi
\begin{document}
Hello, world!
\end{document}

I can't test it by myself, because I don't have the libertine package installed.

PS:

I don't think you need to set pdftex manually. Normally packages do a good job recognizing the driver by themselves. Also you might want to use the extended xcolor package instead of color.

I'll just add it as an answer.

The memoir way is to add

\renewcommand\cftappendixname{\appendixname~}

to the preamble.
