I'd say epslatex.pdf is a good read for including graphics into .tex files in general; the specifics about the EPS file format are not that relevant anymore, probably. > I find the recommendation of preferring to modify the environment > variable TEXINPUTS pretty bizarre: when we submit latex sources to > journals or the arXiv, we have no control over the environment > variables of their build systems.

Personally, I think all this is relevant only if you're using the good old latex-dvips route. With the advent of pdflatex, you can plonk all your graphics into a single file and then use the 'page=X' key-val inside the optional arg of \includegraphics; then you can have your single file with the graphics in the same directory of your main-file.tex and all the path-searching stuff isn't really necessary. > This thread actually made me realize something I hadn't noticed > before.

See Keita's answer. Best, Arash
