Include figures from a separate directory

It is often a good idea to have the figures separated into a folder. This can be done using the \graphicspath command as


\graphicspath{{./mypics/}}
after the includes.
This will tell the compiler to look up the figures from the mypics directory in the document root. Don't forget to include the graphicx (or similar) package.
