SOME USEFUL HINTS ABOUT 
Signals and Systems Group, Uppsala University
Typeset .tex file
latex foo.tex
which will generate the file foo.dvi (and some others).
View a .dvi file
xdvi foo.dvi
&
Convert a .dvi-file to PostScript
format
dvips
foo.dvi -o foo.ps
Hint: Use the flag -P pdf for higher quality of PDF-files generated from
the PostScript file (e.g. with ps2pdf).
A Table in LaTeX
% Options for table/figure placement:
% t - top, b - bottom, p - page of foats (on separate page containing no text), h - here.
\begin{table}[tbph] % [H] - if you use the float package.
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|l|c|r|}
\hline % Horizontal line.
Data & X & Y \\
\hline \hline
Set 1 & 2323 & 46 \\
\hline
Set 20 & 87 & 1226 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\caption{An example of a table in \LaTeX.\label{tab:ex1}}
\end{table}
LaTeX Output
Including PostScript Graphics
\begin{figure}[htbp] % [H] - if you use the float package.
\begin{center}
\scalebox{.5}{ % Scale the figure 50 percent.
\epsfig{file=test.eps} }
\end{center}
% Figure text (caption).
\caption{\emph{Example eps-graphics.}\label{fig:test}}
\end{figure}
Bibliography
A smooth way to handle citations in LaTeX is to use a separate
.bib database file. Citation is then made with the
\cite command (se example below).
You need to add the following to the (main) .tex file:
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography} % If you want the bibliography in the table of contents.
\bibliographystyle{unsrt} % Specifies the style of the bibliograpy.
\bibliography{foo} % Name of the .bib file (without .bib extension).
Example of an .bib file
@Book{wavelets,
author = {Meyer Yves},
title = {Wavelets Algorithms \& Applications},
publisher = {siam},
year = {1993},
}
@Article{vetterli,
author = {Rioul Olivier and Vetterli Martin},
title = {Wavelets ans Signal Processing},
journal = {IEEE Signal Procesing Magazine},
year = {1991},
OPTmonth = {October},
OPTpages = {14--38},
}
Make a citation
The book by Meyer~\cite{wavelets} and the
paper by Vetterli~\cite{vetterli} are good
introductions to wavelets...
Typesetting
1) run latex on foo.tex
(extension not needed)
2) run bibtex on foo.bib
(extension not needed)
3) run latex on foo.tex
two times - to get table of contents and citations right.
The natbib package
natbib is useful a package for citations in LaTeX.
It has a feature of compressing and sorting citations automagically, that is
[1,3,2,7,5,4] becomes [1-5,7].
Examples:
1) For IEEE,Ph.D, Lic etc
\usepackage[square,comma,sort&compress]{natbib}
2) For JASA etc
\usepackage[super,comma,sort&compress]{natbib}
3) For multiple ref-lists (in separate chapters)
\usepackage[]{chapterbib}
\usepackage[sectionbib,square,comma,sort&compress]{natbib}
You need one separate bib-file for each chapter.
Index Generation
Put this in the preamble (between \documentclass
and \begin{document}):
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex
and put \printindex where you want the index to appear.
An Example
The book by Meyer and the paper by Vetterli are good introductions to \index{Wavelets} wavelets...
Typesetting
1) run latex on foo.tex
(extension not needed)
2) run makeindex on foo
3) run latex on foo.tex
two times - to get table of contents and citations right.
MakeIndex style (.ist) files
You can customize makeindex
in a variety of ways. If you, for example, want headings with boldface letters in your
index, then create the following .ist
-file (with the same name as your .tex file):
% MakeIndex style file foo.ist
heading_prefix "{\\bfseries\\hfil " % Insert in front of letter.
heading_suffix "\\hfil}\\nopagebreak\n" % Insert after letter.
headings_flag 1 % Turn on headings (uppercase).
Format for UPTEC reports
UPTEC reports are formatted in a special way. The front page has a distinctive look, as has the second page. To aid in the creation of this page, there is a special package called uptec97. To use this package, issue the command
\usepackage{uptec97}
in the preamble of your document. To typeset the front page, issue the commands
\title{Some title}
\author{Author}
\uptecno{UPTEC number}
\yearandmonth{Month and year of issue}
\maketitle
To typeset the second page, containing for instance the abstract, issue the commands
\begin{abstract}
text of abstract ...
\end{abstract}
\titleswe{Swedish title} % Optional
\keywords{keywords...} % Optional
\lang{language} % Optional
\projname{name of project} % Optional
\sponsorg{sponsoring organisation} % Optional
\security{security classification} % Optional
\suppbiblinfo{supplementary bibliography information} % Optional
\class{classification} % Optional
\isbn{ISBN number} % Optional
\makeuptecpage
All the fields above have counterparts on the official UPTEC document.
