%$% $Log: USCthesis.sty,v $
%$% Revision 2.3 92/08/13 14:22:21 sdc
%$% Added \universityname for easy use outside USC. Also the
%$% \if@techreport switch can be used to turn off the one-side-only
%$% warning message (for better interface with the techreport style
%$% option). Placed a check for TeX-3.0 to allow an old TeX to work
%$% without warnings. Cleaned-up the code and comments a little.
%$%
%$% Revision 2.2 92/06/29 10:59:15 sdc
%$% Added standard file header for style.
%$%
%$% Revision 2.1 91/02/09 00:54:08 cochran
%$% Fixed bug in interaction with techreport.sty.
%$%
%$% Revision 2.0 91/01/03 16:12:48 cochran
%$% Merged divergent branches by cochran@iris.usc.edu (1.10) and by
%$% tli@almaak.usc.edu (1.11); these are common up to revision 1.8.
%$% Removed fix in 1.11 which added Reference List to the TOC since
%$% this is handled by the \references command.
%$%
%$% Changes by tli@almaak.usc.edu:
%$%
%$% 1.11 (90/09/23) Change title font to 12pt. Change author's
%$% font to 12pt. Fix Reference List so that it shows up in TOC.
%$% Break the way that appendices show up in TOC.
%$%
%$% 1.10 (90/07/10) Added a hack to make it work with TeX 3.0.
%$%
%$% 1.9 (90/01/30) Make subsubsections show up with numbered
%$% labels and in the TOC.
%$%
%$% Changes by cochran@iris.usc.edu:
%$%
%$% 1.10 (90/12/29) Added commands and modified \title to allow
%$% multiple volume dissertations. Fixed bug which caused the
%$% pagestyle of the TOC to be wrong if there were no
%$% preceeding prefacesections.
%$%
%$% 1.9 (90/12/03) Corrected title size to correspond to the
%$% University Publications statement that the "Title must be
%$% the same size as `FACULTY OF ...' and no bold print. Also
%$% added an optional argument to the \pageleft command to
%$% allow the fine tuning of the gutter margin in the
%$% techreport style option.
%$%
%$% Revision 1.8 89/09/15 19:39:11 tli
%$% Change spacing in accordance with University Publications.
%$%
%$% Revision 1.7 89/01/27 13:56:04 tli
%$% Too much space after a saying.
%$%
%$% Revision 1.6 89/01/26 14:01:20 tli
%$% Added the saying environment.
%$%
%$% Revision 1.5 88/11/02 10:42:47 cochran
%$% Minor corrections and removal of unnecessary \makeatletter and
%$% \makeatother.
%$%
%$% Revision 1.4 88/10/20 11:58:38 cochran
%$% Updated to allow the user more control over spacing to the "blue
%$% lines," and to be in accordance with the USC Regulations for
%$% Format and Presentation of Theses and Disertations, published
%$% March 1987.
%$%
%$% Revision 1.3 88/03/16 10:49:19 cochran
%$% Several small updates to \committee as suggested by peng@USC-IRIS.
%$%
%$% Revision 1.1 88/03/05 20:04:51 cochran
%$% Set penalties, and new margin and page sizes. Fixed bug which
%$% caused a wrong contents page for long lists of figures or tables.
%$%
%$% Revision 1.0 87/03/05 18:29:34 cochran
%$% Created by combining the best (?) features of the dissertation
%$% styles written by Herb Barad @ USC-SIPI and Howard Trickey @
%$% Stanford University.
%$%
%$% NOTE: This style assumes the existance of Stephen Page's
%$% `doublespace' style option in addition to the standard
%$% LaTeX `report' style.

%%% Dissertations" (July 1989) document published by the Office of
%%% University Publications.
%%%
%%% The following options are available for use in the \documentstyle
%%% (other options also available as report.sty options or as
%%% option.sty files).
%%%
%%% `10pt' (default) `11pt' or `12pt' base typesize.
%%%
%%% `dissertation' (default), or `thesis' title page.
%%%
%%% `final' (default) or `proposal' layout.
%%%
%%% `copyright' (default) or `nocopyright' message on title page.
%%% This affects the `final' layout only.
%%%
%%% `fussy' (default) or `sloppy' word spacing. This affects the
%%% alignment at the right margin. Fussy will sometimes write
%%% over the blue line but is very useful for finding problem
%%% areas during the development of the thesis. Sloppy will
%%% insure that no line passes the right margin, but may need
%%% to over stretch the line and thus generate an underfilled
%%% hbox message.
%%%
%%% `clref' (default) or `opref' to set the open or closed format
%%% of the entries in the references section.
%%%
%%% The following may be set PRIOR to the \begin{document} in order
%%% to make adjustments to fit the text in the "blue lines". The
%%% values listed below are the defaults:
%%%
%%% \pagetop{1.01 true in} % 1 inch plus allowance
%%% \pageleft{1.51 true in} % 1.5 inches plus allowance
%%% \pageheight{8.73 true in} % 9 inches minus allowance
%%% \pagewidth{5.92 true in} % 6 inches minus allowance
%%% \pagemargin{2.0} % Number of (unstretched) lines
%%% % between text and page number
%%% \setstretch{1.3} % Set the "double" spacing
%%%
%%% The following commands control what goes on the title page.
%%%
%%% \title[volume]{thesis title}
%%% - The thesis title is set using the \title command.
%%% The optional volume parameter allows the
%%% specification of the volume on the title page for
%%% long papers which are divided.
%%%
%%% \author{author's full name}
%%% - Authors name.
%%%
%%% \universityname{UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA}
%%% - The university's name (the above is the default).
%%%
%%% \schoolname{name of the school granting the degree}
%%% - "GRADUATE SCHOOL" is the default. Changing this
%%% also has the effect of turning off the \majorfield
%%% entry. This affects the `final' layout only.
%%%
%%% \degree{degree name}
%%% - defaults to "Master of Science" or "Doctor of
%%% Philosophy" depending on whether the `thesis' or
%%% `dissertation' option is in effect. This affects
%%% the `final' layout only.
%%%
%%% \majorfield{author's major}
%%% - "Electrical Engineering" if omitted. Changing the
%%% \schoolname has the effect of turning off the
%%% display of the major field. If you specify this
%%% command after changing the \schoolname, both will be
%%% shown on the titlepage. This affects the `final'
%%% layout only.
%%%
%%% \committee{name1\\* name2\\* name3}
%%% - Currently this in only used on with the `proposal'
%%% option, since the signature page MUST be the one
%%% supplied by the University. This affects the
%%% `proposal' layout only.
%%%
%%% \submitdate{month & year in which submitted to Graduate School}
%%% - current month & year if omitted.
%%%
%%% \copyrightyear{year degree conferred (next year if submitted in Dec.)}
%%% - current year (or next year, in December) if omitted.
%%% This affects only the `final' layout and only when
%%% the `copyright' option is in effect.
%%%
%%% The PREFACE environment prints the titlepage and sets up the page
%%% formatting for the preface pages. To create a preface section
%%% use the command:
%%%
%%% \prefacesection[optional TOC name]{name}
%%%
%%% To generate the Table of Contents, and the Lists of Tables and
%%% Figures, use the commands:
%%%
%%% \tableofcontents[CONTENTS]
%%% \listoftables*[LIST OF TABLES]
%%% \listoffigures*[LIST OF FIGURES]
%%%
%%% the bracketed names are used at the top of the sections and in
%%% the Table of Contents for the tables and figures. The optional
%%% `*' in the latter commands suppresses their entry into the Table
%%% of Contents.
%%%
%%% When multiple volumes are present (as indicated by the use of the
%%% optional argument of the \title command), the Table of Contents
%%% may be augmented by specifying the name of the other parts of the
%%% document with the command:
%%%
%%% \addvolumecontents[toc]{volumename}
%%%
%%% This command should be placed right after the \begin{document}
%%% command to include prior volumes, and just before the
%%% \end{document} command to include the contents of later volumes.
%%% By default (if the optional [] section is ommited) it reads in
%%% the volumename.toc file (if present). Using [lof] or [lot] work
%%% in the same way for the lists of figures and tables respectively.
%%%
%%% To start the document at a page other than 1 (for later volumes)
%%% you can use the command:
%%%
%%% \startingpagenumber{1}{1}
%%%
%%% prior to the \begin{preface} command. The first argument is the
%%% page number of the titlepage and subsequent pages numbered with
%%% roman numerals and the second is the number of the first page
%%% after the preface section. The defaults are shown above.
%%%
%%% To include a reference section, use the following command:
%%%
%%% \references*[Reference List]{style}{bibfile(s)}
%%%
%%% where the `*' is optional and indicates that you DO NOT want this
%%% section to appear in the Table-of-Contents. "Reference List" is
%%% the default name if the optional `[]' section of the command is
%%% not specified (the USC Regulations suggest either `Reference
%%% List' or `Bibliography'). Both of the remaining entries MUST be
%%% specified. {Style} is any of "plain", "unsrt", "alpha", "abbrv"
%%% (or other *.bst format file). The {bibfile(s)} are a list of one
%%% or more *.bib filenames from which the references are to be taken.
%%%
%%% The `saying' environment is used to set a cutesy little quotation
%%% at the start of the chapter, just after the chapter head. To use:
%%%
%%% \begin{saying}
%%% If this exercise isn't just a joke, the title of \\
%%% this appendix is a lie.
%%% \end{saying}
