34 Winter Quarter 2003Rolando V. Raqueño Create the following chapters chapter_sum.tex chapter_mean.tex chapter_sd.tex

35 Winter Quarter 2003Rolando V. Raqueño chapter_mean.tex \chapter{Mean} \label{C:Mean} \begin{equation} \label{E:mean} \bar{x} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i}} {n} \end{equation}

39 Winter Quarter 2003Rolando V. Raqueño

40 Winter Quarter 2003Rolando V. Raqueño Modify chapter_sd.tex \chapter{Standard Deviation} \label{C:SD} … \end{equation} We can see that equation \ref{E:sd} uses equation \ref{E:mean} to compute the mean and that the \emph{Mean} function uses equation \ref{E:sum} both of which are defined in Chapter \ref{C:Sum} and \ref{C:Mean}, respectively

41 Winter Quarter 2003Rolando V. Raqueño

42 Winter Quarter 2003Rolando V. Raqueño Modify main.tex to include chapters \documentclass{report} \title{Assignment 2 for SIMG726} \author{Rolando V. Raque\~no} \begin{document} \maketitle \tableofcontents \include{chapter_mean} \include{chapter_sum} \include{chapter_sd} \end{document}

44 Winter Quarter 2003Rolando V. Raqueño Including image graphics into you LaTeX document Need to convert your image graphics into EPS (encapsulated postscript). –For images, use pnmtops, e.g. % pnmtops MyCat.pgm > MyCat.ps Need to include an extension package to LaTeX called “graphicx” using command \usepackage{graphicx} N.B. In CIS systems, following example works for latex but not for pdflatex

45 Winter Quarter 2003Rolando V. Raqueño Image Graphics Example (image.tex) \documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} \begin{figure} \includegraphics{MyCat.ps} \caption{This is My Cat} \label{F:MyCat} \end{figure} \end{document}
