Treys Latex Notes

[30 Sept 08 -mrc] Building on Trey's notes with some new stuff

• Pretty good overview of bib styles: http://amath.colorado.edu/documentation/LaTeX/basics/steps/bibstyles.html

Useful packages for Miktex

• TITLING for info on title, author, date
• FANCYHDR for top and bottom headers

• Use \twocolumn, then col#1 info, \newpage, then col#2 info and finally \onecolumn
• http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/Latex/TableColumnPictures/Latex19.000.html

• Size the Matlab accordingly (seems to influence export size)
• Using Acrobat 5 (on DARTHSIDOUS)
  • 'Save As' to a PDF
  • Open in Acrobat, and go to 'Document'->'Crop Pages' (Cntl+T)
  • Resize and save
• Using Abode Distiller (on SITH)
  • Use Matlab 'Export Setup'
  • Change resolution if desired (under 'Rendering') ie. approx 300dpi
  • Click 'Export' then select EPS format
  • Use 'Open with' to send EPS file to distiller
  • Distiller will give PDF (may need to adjust Distiller settings?)

• Use the following format:

        \begin{center}
           \rule{15cm}{0.5mm}
        \end{center}

• Use the following format:

        \vspace{3 mm}

• Use the following format:

        $\sim$

1. To include Bibtex option: Edit->Output Styles->Open Style Manager->Select BibTex
2. To get Bibtex output: Edit->Output Styles->BibTex
3. Select the lower window mat'l (for single ref) OR export all
4. Give the listing a label, followed by a comma
   • (MY) FORMAT: name.year, ie. full.00 (add a letter for same year papers, a-z)
