-<h3>Creating posters with LaTeX</h3>
-<p/>There is no complete &ldquo;canned solution&rdquo; to creating a poster (as, for
-example, classes like <i>seminar</i>, <i>powerdot</i> and
-<i>beamer</i> serve for creating presentations in a variety of
-styles).
-<p/>The nearest approach to the complete solution is the <i>sciposter</i>
-class, which provides the means to produce really rather good posters
-according to the author&rsquo;s required style. 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&rsquo;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&rsquo;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/>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.sys.uea.ac.uk/~nlct/latex/posters/index.html">Creating technical posters with LaTeX</a>
-<li> from &ldquo;<em>awf</em>&rdquo; and &ldquo;<em>capes</em>&rdquo;
- <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">http://fuse.pha.jhu.edu/~wolven/posters.html</a> (this page also
- provides macros and other support suggestions); and
-<li> from &ldquo;<em>pjh</em>&rdquo;
- <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.
