A complete worked example -is provided with the distribution -<p/>Otherwise, there is a range of tools, most of which are based on the -<i>a0poster</i> class, which sets up an appropriately-sized piece of -paper, sets font sizes appropriately, and leaves you to your own -devices. -<p/>Having used <i>a0poster</i>, you can of course slog it out, and write -all your poster as an unadorned LaTeX document (presumably in -multiple columns, using the <i>multicol</i> package), but it’s not really -necessary: the (straightforward) <i>textpos</i> package provides a -simple way of positioning chunks of text, or tables or figures, on the -poster page. -<p/>More sophisticated is the <i>flowfram</i> package, whose basic aim -in life is flowing text from one box on the page to the next. One of -the package’s design aims seems to have been the production of -posters, and a worked example is provided. The author of -<i>flowfram</i> has an experimental tool called -<a href="http://theoval.cmp.uea.ac.uk/~nlct/jpgfdraw/">JpgfDraw</a>, which -allows you to construct the outline of frames for use with -<i>flowfram</i>. -<p/>The <i>beamerposter</i> package is added to a -<a href="FAQ-slidecls.html"><i>beamer</i> document</a> to enable the user to work -as if in a <i>a0poster</i> class. Thus <i>beamer</i>’s neat -provisions for layout may be used when creating the poster. -Documentation of <i>beamerposter</i> is sparse, but an example file -allows the user to get a grip on what’s available. -<p/>Despite the relative shortage of tools, there are a fair few web pages -that explain the process (mostly in terms of the <i>a0poster</i> -route): -<ul> -<li> from Norman Gray, - <a href="http://nxg.me.uk/docs/posters/">Producing posters using LaTeX</a>; -<li> from Nicola Talbot, - <a href="http://theoval.cmp.uea.ac.uk/~nlct/latex/posters/index.html">Creating technical posters with LaTeX</a> -<li> from “<em>awf</em>” and “<em>capes</em>” - <a href="http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~awf/latex-posters/">Preparing conference posters in LaTeX</a> - (the page discusses a sample, which you can download); -<li> From Rob Clark - <a href="http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/robert/posters/advanced.html">Advanced LaTeX Posters</a> - (which has links to code samples); -<li> from Brian Wolven, - <a href="http://fuse.pha.jhu.edu/~wolven/posters.html">LaTeX Poster Macros, Examples, and Accessories</a> - (this page also provides macros and other support suggestions); and -<li> from “<em>pjh</em>” - <a href="http://www.phys.ufl.edu/~pjh/posters/poster_howto_UF.html">Making and printing a poster with LaTeX</a>, - which covers the specific issue of dealing with University of - Florida styled poster (offering supporting material as necessary), - but has hints which are generally useful. -</ul> -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>a0poster.cls</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/a0poster.zip">macros/latex/contrib/a0poster</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/a0poster/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/a0poster.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>beamer.cls</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/beamer.zip">macros/latex/contrib/beamer</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/beamer/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/beamer.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>beamberposter.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/beamerposter.zip">macros/latex/contrib/beamerposter</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/beamerposter/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/beamerposter.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>flowfram.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/flowfram.zip">macros/latex/contrib/flowfram</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/flowfram/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/flowfram.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>multicol.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/tools.zip">macros/latex/required/tools</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/tools/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/multicol.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>sciposter.cls</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/sciposter.zip">macros/latex/contrib/sciposter</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/sciposter/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/sciposter.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>textpos.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/textpos.zip">macros/latex/contrib/textpos</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/textpos/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/textpos.html">catalogue entry</a> -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=poster">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=poster</a> -</body> |
