23. February 2012 by tom 18 Comments

Imagine having a beautiful picture, but the subject is very small or not centered. What if you want to place several graphs side-by-side with subfig, but all or some of the graphs have a white border taking up a lot of space. So how to trim pictures and eliminate unwanted margins of graphs? The graphics … [Read more…]

Using footnotes in tables

3. February 2012 by tom 49 Comments

Have you ever tried to add a footnote to a table inside the tabular environment? Even though the index is printed, the search for the actual footnote will be in vain. One way to overcome this issue is by using longtable. The package handles footnotes really well. But it may be an overkill if your … [Read more…]

1. December 2011 by tom 4 Comments
