Tips and Links for Latex Paper Writing
- First, here is a link to a tutorial on how to use LaTex: http://www.andy-roberts.net/misc/latex/
- One of the major issues of confusion is figure placement. The following link presents a nice overview about how LaTex places figures. It has also a variety of other tips regarding figures: Figure Latex Tutorial
- In general latex generates nice pdf's when using the pdflatex command. When including figures, pdflatex works best with the figures either in PDF or PNG format. For graphical images (such as photos and screen captures) PNG is the best choice, on the other hand for images including text (such as tables, annotated photos etc) or graphics primitives (such as lines, arrows, circles etc) PDF is the better choice as it keeps these items in as scalable format.
