12. Common Elements
• Document Structure
• Macro Packages
• Text Fonts
• Special Characters
• Importing Graphics
• Table

13. Document structure
• Document Class
documentclass[options]{class}
options = a4paper, 11pt, 12pt, 10pt, onecolumn,
twocolumn, landscape,...
class = article, report, book,…
• Start with begin{document}
• End with end{document}
13

15. Document Structure
• Sections
section{…} = 1. Latex is Great
subsection{…} = 1.1 Why Latex is Great
subsubsection{…} = 1.1.1 Reason One
appendix - changes numbering scheme
chapter{…} - To be used with book and report document
classes
• Titles, Authors
title{…} author{…}

17. Packages
• Add-on features for
Latex are know as
Package
• Allow you to use
special commands
usepackage[options]{pack
age_name}

21. Text Size
21

22. Special Characters
• The following symbols are reserved:
# $ % & _ { } ^ ~
• To include them in your text:
# $ % & _ { } ^{} ~{}
• Note: you cannot just do (which is a
linebreak) , but instead:
$backslash$
22

25. Importing Graphics
• Use the graphicx package
usepackage{graphicx}
• Supported image formats
- Compiling with latex: .esp
- Compiling with pdflatex: .jpg, jpeg, png,
pdf, eps
25

26. Importing Graphics
begin{figure}
includegraphics[attr1=val1, attr2=val2, ...,
attrn=valn]{imagename}
caption{The graph of Gaussian function}
label{fig:1}
end{figure}
26

29. Table
• Syntax
begin{table} [!t] % define a table
caption{Table Example} % table’s name
label{table_example} % reference laber
centering
<table content>
end{tabular}
end{table}
29

30. Table example
30
begin{table} [!t]
caption{Table Example}
label{table_example}
centering
begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
hline
Line 1 column 1 & Line 1 column 2
hline
Line 2 column 1 & Line 2 column 2
hline
Line 3 column 1 & Line 3 column 2
hline
hline
end{tabular}
end{table}

31. Table spacing
31
begin{table} [!t]
renewcommand{arraystretch}{2}
caption{Table Example}
label{table_example}
centering
begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
hline
Line 1 column 1 & Line 1 column 2
hline
Line 2 column 1 & Line 2 column 2
hline
Line 3 column 1 & Line 3 column 2
hline
hline
end{tabular}
end{table}

32. Equation in Table
32
begin{table} [!t]
caption{Table Example}
label{table_example}
centering
begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
hline
Line 1 column 1 & text{emph{A} = $frac {{{B +
C}}^2} D$}
hline
Line 2 column 1 & Line 2 column 2
hline
Line 3 column 1 & Line 3 column 2
hline
hline
end{tabular}
end{table}

34. Technical Texts
• Mathematic
• Algorithms

35. Mathematic
• Two ways to form equations
– Using ‘$’: $ equation syntax $
– Using commands:
begin{equation}
label{equation_label}
Insert equation syntax here
end{equation}
• Syntax can be generated with software packages like
MathType or TeXaide

38. Algorithm Example
38
begin{algorithm}[!t]
caption{Algorithm Test 1}
label{alg1}
begin{algorithmic}[1]
State text{Determine initial condition}
While {emph {V(A) = 1}}
State text{ emph{V(B) = 2} }
State text{ emph{V(C) = 3} }
State text{ emph{V(D) = 4} }
EndWhile end{algorithmic}
end{algorithm}

39. Equation in Algorithm
Example
39
begin{algorithm}[!t]
caption{Algorithm Test 1}
label{alg1}
begin{algorithmic}[1]
State text{emph{A} = $frac {{{B + C}}^2} D$}
EndWhile end{algorithmic}
end{algorithm}

40. Long Algorithm Example
begin{algorithm}[!h]
caption{Algorithm Test 1}label{alg1}
begin{algorithmic}[1]
State text{This is the first part of my algorithm}
State text{This is the end of the first part}
algstore {store_var}
end {algorithmic}
end {algorithm}
begin{algorithm}[!h]
ContinuedFloat
caption{Algorithm Test 1
emph{(continue)}}label{alg1}
begin{algorithmic} [1]
algrestore{store_var}}
State text{This is the second part of my algorithm}
State text{This is the end of the second part}
end{algorithmic}
end{algorithm}
