[Tex/LaTex] Problem with using scale while using \includegraphics

babelerrorsgraphics

Possible Duplicate:
\usepackage[turkish]{babel} and \includegraphics inconcistency

I previously imported many figures to TEX files and simply use the corresponding parameters without any problems. However, this time I am preparing some slides using beamer and I couldn't figure what's wrong with it. Here is my TEX code related with the problem.

\documentclass{beamer} 

\usepackage[latin5]{inputenc}
\RequirePackage[turkish]{babel}

\usetheme{Madrid}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Markov Karar Süreçleri}
\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{img/mdp.eps}
%\includegraphics{img/mdp.eps}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

The code exists with many compile errors. However, when I simply comment out the includegraphics line scale parameters and uncomment the other one, it compiles smoothly.

Any ideas are welcome..

I believed that the problem had been solved, but apparently it hasn't.

The issue is in the fact that the Turkish module for babel activates the = character as a shorthand.

If you don't need the = in text (which is hardly ever needed), you can simply forget about its activation and issue

\shorthandoff{=}

just after \begin{document}.

A different way to solve the problem is to load xkeyval (an extension of the keyval package loaded by graphicx); in this way no \shorthandoff is necessary.

\documentclass{beamer} 

\usepackage[latin5]{inputenc}
\RequirePackage[turkish]{babel}

\usetheme{Madrid}
\usepackage{xkeyval}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Markov Karar Süreçleri}
\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{img/mdp.eps}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

You can use the picture environment but you need to proceed like that :

\documentclass{scrartcl}      
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document} 

In my text, I tried to insert a picture with the preceding code:

\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm} % fix unit

\newsavebox{\mybox} 
\savebox{\mybox}{\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{Deltoidalicositetrahedron.jpg}} 
% we save the picture

 \begin{figure}
   \begin{picture}(6,4) % you need to add dimensions 
  \put(0,0){\usebox{\mybox}}
   \end{picture}   
 \end{figure}    
\end{document}

Now you can use macros from picture to decorate or add what you want

With a picture

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document} 

In my text, I tried to insert a picture with the preceding code:
\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm}

\newsavebox{\mybox} 
\savebox{\mybox}{\includegraphics[scale=0.25]{ant.png}} 
 \begin{figure}
   \begin{picture}(8,6)
  \put(0,0){\usebox{\mybox}} 
  \put(2,2.5){\oval(6,5)}
   \end{picture}   
 \end{figure}    

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Problem while using multirow with graphics

You don't need \multirow, but rather the adjustbox package.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\begin{adjustbox}{valign=t}
\begin{tabular}{@{}c@{}}
  \includegraphics[width=1.5in,height=1.3in]{a}\\[2ex]
  \includegraphics[width=1.5in,height=0.7in]{b}
\end{tabular}
\end{adjustbox}
&
\begin{adjustbox}{valign=t}
  \includegraphics[width=1.5in,height=1.7in]{c}
\end{adjustbox}
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

With valign=t we're shifting the reference point of the inner tabular and of the image to the right to their top.

Note. I've used height and the demo option just to produce mock figures; don't use them yourself.
