30 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño

31 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño Changing the document styles \documentclass{article} \documentclass{book} \documentclass{letter} \documentclass{report}

32 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño Report document style (main.tex) \documentclass{report} \title{Assignment 2 for SIMG726} \author{Rolando V. Raque\~no} \begin{document} \maketitle \tableofcontents \end{document}

33 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño

34 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño Create the following chapters chapter_sum.tex chapter_mean.tex chapter_sd.tex

35 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando 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}

36 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño chapter_sum.tex \chapter{Sum} \label{C:Sum} \begin{equation} \label{E:sum} s = \sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i} \end{equation}

37 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño 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}

38 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando 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_sum} \include{chapter_mean} \include{chapter_sd} \end{document}

39 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño

40 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando 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 2004Rolando V. Raqueño

42 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando 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}

43 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño

44 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño Miscellaneous LaTeX Topics

45 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño Comments in LaTeX % –Ignores the rest of the line

46 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño To protect special characters Use the \ character –e.g. My\_Cat.raw To typeset a section as typed \begin{verbatim} \end{verbatim}

47 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño Verbatim command OK for small sections that can be typed into document What about including entire source code of programs –Use verbatim package

48 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño Including Source code in LaTeX documents \documentclass{article} \usepackage{verbatim} \begin{document} \begin{equation} \label{E:sum} s = \sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i} \end{equation} The code as implemented in idl in vectorized form looks like \verbatiminput{sum.pro} \end{document}

49 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño

50 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando 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

51 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño Including image graphics into you LaTeX document Need to convert your image graphics into EPS For images, use pnmtops, e.g. % pnmtops –norotate –nosetpage MyCat.pgm > MyCat.ps -norotate keeps from auto-rotating the image -nosetpage keeps from setting to a specific device 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

52 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando 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}

53 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño

54 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño Flowchart Figures Create Flowchart in PowerPoint Export as a bmp file Convert from bmp to postscript % bmptoppm figure.bmp | pnmtops – norotate –nosetpage > figure.ps OR User xfig because it will export to EPS Shareware utility called WMF2EPS –Windows clipboard objects to EPS

55 Winter Quarter 2004Rolando V. Raqueño Because current pdflatex cannot include Encapsulated Postscript Files (EPS)… Need to go from dvi to postscript to pdf using the following commands % dvips image.dvi % ps2pdf image.ps Some degradation in quality is observed
