Hi, I'm trying to put some pics on the latex doc, but I don't know where I can put the images.
Actually I have something like this:
myapp
----- models.py
----- views.py
----- urls.py
-----TEMPLATES/
----------base.tex
---------- image1.png

So I'm using {graphicx} like this \includegraphics{image1} but this doesn't generate the PDF
please I would like to know how to fix it.

heu wlwzrd you should put your images in a static folder and define this folder in your settings.py
