Consider the following scenario: By changing one or more parameters in an experimental method, we produce a series of figures. We then want to include these figures in a research report, manuscript, or thesis. It is often possible to reduce the amount of code/typing through automation of subfigure generation. More specifically, one sub-figure environment is … [Read more…]
Often, figures have a white background which makes the figure border invisible on white paper. If a figure has several disconnected elements, it looks better to delimit them with a frame around figure. The adjustbox package scales, resizes, trims, rotates, and also frames LaTeX content. Conveniently, these functions can be exported to the \includegraphics command, … [Read more…]
I was recently looking for a memorandum template when I came across a neat memo class, texMemo, written by Rob Oakes. It is based on the article documentclass and provides the following five commands: To: \memoto{}, From: \memofrom{}, Subject: \memosubject{}, Date: \memodate{}, and Logo: \logo{}. The usage is very simple, here is an example: The … [Read more…]
I’ve been writing quite a bit of R code recently for my gene expression analysis. Also, I use Sweave (manual) which allows embedding R code “chunks” into TeX documents. When the code is being evaluated, the output (code, calculation results, plots, tables, etc.) will automatically integrated into the document as TeX syntax, making it an … [Read more…]
The subfigure package was replace by the subfig package quite a while ago. I therefore decided to replace my old post on that topic (Placing figures/tables side-by-side with subfigure) with an introduction to the subfig package. The package simplifies the positioning, captioning (I wonder if that’s a word) and labeling of small “sub” figures and … [Read more…]
