- 4. Outline Graphics Bibliographies Tabular Floats Indices Things to Remember Remember . . . When specifying the location of the graphic file, the path is taken as relative to your working directory. There are several package we can use, we’ll be using the graphicx package mostly in this course. Thus, you’ll need to ensure that you are “using” the graphicx package like so: Example usepackage{graphicx} Raffi Khatchadourian Lancaster University LATEX 1-Day Course: Special Topics

- 6. Outline Graphics Bibliographies Tabular Floats Indices The includegraphics Command You can specify the height or width of the graphic easily. Using either of these commands will resize while maintaining the height/width ratio. includegraphics[height=3in]{insert_this} includegraphics[width=4cm]{insert_that} includegraphics[scale=0.5]{insert_that} By the way, I use the scale argument the most!

Also, there may be complicated cross references (e.g., inproceedings, proceedings) contained in your bibliography. Therefore, several very good programs exist to help you manage your .bib file.

JabRef is a Java program and shouldn’t require any complicated installation process, and moreover should run (correctly) on all platforms.

- 31. Outline Graphics Bibliographies Tabular Floats Indices About The Tabular Environment The tabular environment is basically used to make tables. This is a bit confusing since there is also a table environment, but we’ll cover that in the next section. The LATEXcode to generate tables can be a pain. The good news is that you can use other software to write this code for you. There are several tools available to help you create tables in LATEX from other documents (e.g., an excel worksheet). Some of these are listed in the Wiki. My personal favorite is a tool called csv2latex which is a command line tool typically included in most *NIX distributions, including, of course, OS X.

If you set [t], then the top line of the table is aligned with the baseline of the text preceding the table. If you set [b] or do not use this command, the bottom of the table is aligned with the baseline of the text preceding the table. {cols} sets the number of columns and the default alignment in each column. You can also add vertical lines between columns (borders) that run the entire height of the table. Raffi Khatchadourian Lancaster University LATEX 1-Day Course: Special Topics

Partial horizontal lines: The command cline{n-m} draws a horizontal line from the left side of column n to the right side of column m. Spanning columns: The command multicolumn{num}{col}{text} puts text is a cell that spans num columns using alignment and border formatting col.

- 50. Outline Graphics Bibliographies Tabular Floats Indices Notes To type a dollar sign, you must precede it with to tell LaTeX you’re not entering math mode. The multicolumn command is used since the ”Total (not including tax): is expected to be wider than the ”Cost each” column, and we don’t want that column to automatically be way too wide for the dollar amounts. The cline command lets us underline the total dollar amount. Raffi Khatchadourian Lancaster University LATEX 1-Day Course: Special Topics

- 52. Outline Graphics Bibliographies Tabular Floats Indices LaTeX can automatically create indexes while you work on your document. To use LaTeX indexing, you must first include the makeidx command in the preamble. The full command is: usepackage{makeidx} makeindex Raffi Khatchadourian Lancaster University LATEX 1-Day Course: Special Topics
- 53. Outline Graphics Bibliographies Tabular Floats Indices When you want to index something, use the command: index{Index Entry} Raffi Khatchadourian Lancaster University LATEX 1-Day Course: Special Topics
- 54. Outline Graphics Bibliographies Tabular Floats Indices There are several types of index entries that LaTeX can create. These are: Plain entry: uses the basic command index{cheese} to make an entry for cheese with the current page number Subindex Entry: uses the basic command with an exclamation point to separate the first main entry from the subentry. The command for a single level of subentry appears as such: index{cheese!gouda} Subentries can be up to one additional level deep, and the command appears as such: index{cheese!gouda!brie} Cross-references: Entries which are simple ”See” and another entry are created using the vertical bar with this command: index{cheese|see{crackers}} Raffi Khatchadourian Lancaster University LATEX 1-Day Course: Special Topics
- 55. Outline Graphics Bibliographies Tabular Floats Indices Font changes: To change the style of an index entry, use the @ sign followed by a font change command like this: This example indexes Kraft and italicizes it at the same time. Any of the standard font change commands which use text... will work within this syntax. Out of sequence: This can be used to make index entries appear out of sequence, so that they appear with the work they represent. For instance: index{cheese@gouda} Would place gouda in the list right next to cheese, as if gouda was actually spelled cheese.
