Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, The LaTeX Process 1.Create a text file (with your favorite text editor) with LaTeX commands 2.“Compile” or “Build” your document using the LaTeX program 3.Display resulting Document 4.Continue writing and go to 1 until finished 5.Convert Document to Postscript or PDF

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, Flow of LaTeX Process

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, Source code of your first LaTeX document (fish.tex) \documentclass{article} \begin{document} My mother is a fish. \end{document}

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, Commands to Build and View Document To use xdvi viewer % latex fish.tex … % xdvi fish.dvi To use acroread % pdflatex fish.tex … % acroread fish.pdf

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, Emphasizing words (fish.tex) \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \emph{My mother} is a fish. \end{document}

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15,

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, Underlining words (fish.tex) \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \emph{My mother} is a \underline{fish}. \end{document}

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15,

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, Making references in LaTeX (fish.tex) \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \emph{My mother} is a \underline{fish} \cite{WF}. \begin{thebibliography}{99} \bibitem{WF} William Falkner, \emph{As I Lay Dying} \end{thebibliography} \end{document}

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, Need to compile the document twice Because we are using symbolic references, e.g., \cite{WF}, a second pass is necessary The second pass will resolve references

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, Changing the document styles \documentclass{article} \documentclass{book} \documentclass{letter} \documentclass{report}

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, Report document style (main.tex) \documentclass{report} \title{Assignment 2 for SIMG726} \author{Rolando V. Raque\~no} \begin{document} \maketitle \tableofcontents \end{document}

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15,

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, Create the following chapters chapter_sum.tex chapter_mean.tex chapter_sd.tex

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, 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}

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, chapter_sum.tex \chapter{Sum} \label{C:Sum} \begin{equation} \label{E:sum} s = \sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i} \end{equation}

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, chapter_sd.tex \chapter{Standard Deviation} \label{C:SD} \begin{equation} \label{E:sd} \sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} \left(x_{i} - \bar{x}\right)^{2}} {n-1}} \end{equation}

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, Modify main.tex to include chapters \documentclass{report} \title{Assignment 2 for SIMG726} \author{Rolando V. Raque\~no} \begin{document} \maketitle \tableofcontents \include{chapter_sum} \include{chapter_mean} \include{chapter_sd} \end{document}

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15,

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, 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

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, 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 “graphics” using command \usepackage{graphics} N.B. In CIS systems, following example works for latex but not for pdflatex

Rolando V. RaqueñoMonday, June 15, Image Graphics Example (image.tex) \documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphics} \begin{document} \begin{figure} \includegraphics{MyCat.ps} \caption{This is My Cat} \label{F:MyCat} \end{figure} \end{document}
