Re: Cannot see graphics when pdf is selected

One way to avoid "manual" creation of the pdf figures from eps is to use 
dvipdfm to process the dvi file and its eps figures.

EPS files are converted transparently by dvipdfm[x] using MiKTeX Ghostscript:

% The following line works with MiKTeX Ghostscript
D "mgs.exe -q -sPAPERSIZE=a0 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.2 
-dUseFlateCompression=true -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=\"%o\" \"%i\" -c quit"

Kind regards,

I do not like to receive more e-mail about TeX problems or difficulties.

Thank you.

Really?! Then what about unsubscribing from this mailing list? You can
do it here:

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/miktex-users

Or are you expecting that someone else does i for you?

Best regards,

Jose Carlos Santos

--mem-max (MiKTeX-2.6) vs. --main-memory (MiKTeX-2.7); How to increase main memory?

Hi list,

I tried a lot to increase the main memory with MiKTeX-2.7, e. g.
following Ulrikes advice in her message

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=1677914493.20070519165641%40nililand.de

but unfortunately without success. Therefore I ask again what is the
MiKTeX-2.7 equivalent to MiKTeX-2.6 option --mem-max=... which worked
perfectly for me?

How do I use --main-memory=... while creating a new format file with
extended memory in MiKTeX-2.7?

Any piece of advice is greatly welcome.

Thanks,
Alexander

Edit a configuration file for your format. For example, this is an 
excerpt from context.ini:

extra_mem_bot=2000000
extra_mem_top=4000000
main_memory=2000000

--extra-mem-top=N
--extra-mem-bot=N

Have you actually internalized the 2.7 release notes? If yes: I am 
asking, because I would gladly improve the documentation.

I opened

%Install%\miktex\config\latex.ini

appended the lines given above, saved the file and recreated all formats by clicking
onto ``Update Formats'' button in the ``General'' tab of MiKTeX options.

When I run LaTeX on the file given below I still get the error:

! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=1500000].

That is, the default hasn't been changed by the actions above.

There is yet another latex.ini:

%Install%\tex\latex\config\latex.ini

But this one doesn't seem to be the right one, because its contents
looks like TeX and was written by Th. Esser.

It's okay to edit this file for testing purposes. But you should keep in 
mind that it will be "repaired" the next time you update your MiKTeX 
installation.

The main_memory setting is only relevant in the format file creation 
stage. extra_mem_top and extra_mem_bot must be used to increase TeX's 
memory for your daily work.

Re: --mem-max (MiKTeX-2.6) vs. --main-memory (MiKTeX-2.7); How to increase main memory?

Christian,

please forgive my thick-wittedness. I still cannot get it working. If I
proceed as in my last message (modifying latex.ini with 

extra_mem_bot=2000000
extra_mem_top=4000000
main_memory=2000000

and rebuilding the formats) and if I run

latex --extra-mem-bot=8000000 myfile.tex

the compilation dies without a message after printing

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.7 (MiKTeX 2.7)
<An empty line follows before returning to the DOS prompt>

into my DOS command line window.

Would you please give a step-by-step instruction on how to proceed? Maybe
some information on how to use a private latex.ini that doesn't get
overwritten (where to put the file, how to build the format and how to
make use of it)?

This would be great!

Alexander
