I'm placing a quote as epigraph of every chapter. But for one i would like to place a calvin and hobbes strip. Which is the best way to do so and keep complaining with the epigraph style?

\documentclass[11pt]{book} 
\usepackage{epigraph}
\usepackage{epsf,graphicx,subfig} 
\begin{document}

\chapter{Test chapter}
\epigraph{\includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth]{calvin.jpg}}{Bill Watterson}
chapter's text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text
\end{document}

Your approach is good, and other than setting the epigraph width, it should work out of the box:

\documentclass[11pt]{book} 
\usepackage{epigraph}
\setlength{\epigraphwidth}{12cm}
\usepackage{epsf,graphicx,subfig} 
\begin{document}

\chapter{Test chapter}
\epigraph{\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{xckd.png}}{Bill Watterson}
chapter's text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text
\end{document}

enter image description here

Try first with \documentclass[11pt,demo]{book} to verify that the problem is not due to not finding the image.

  • well with demo it appears a black box. Therefore it the epigraph its working and I've the trouble loading the image. Which puzzles me even more. Because the image is with the rest of the images in the chapter.Pus it does not give any kind of error. – Sik Sep 24 '13 at 08:41
  • @sik Can you upload the image somewhere (maybe in your question). First drop in same directory as the .tex file to eliminate path issues. – yannisl Sep 24 '13 at 09:39
  • The problem was the image, using convert to transform the image to a .png file made the trick. – Sik Oct 02 '13 at 08:42
