Why you want to learn LaTeX
• Powerful control of document creation
– particularly large technical documents
• Minimizes the drudgery
– formatting, numbering, and referencing
• Disadvantage:
– Steep Learning Curve

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

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}

Need to compile the document
twice
• Using symbolic references requires
second pass
– \cite{WF}
• The second pass will resolve references

chapter_mean.tex
\chapter{Mean} \label{C:Mean}

\bar{x} =
\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i}}
{n}
\end{equation}

\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}

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

Comments in LaTeX
%
– Ignores the rest of the line

45
To protect special characters
• Use the \ character
– e.g.
My\_Cat.raw
• To typeset a section as typed
\begin{verbatim}
\end{verbatim}

46
Verbatim command
• OK for small sections that can be typed
into document
• What about including entire source code
of programs
– Use verbatim package

47
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}

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

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

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}

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

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
