Making references in LaTeX (fish.tex)

Wednesday, April 23, 2014

Need to compile the document twice


Because we are using symbolic references, e.g., \cite{WF}, a second pass is necessary The second pass will resolve references

Rolando V. Raqueo Wednesday, April 23, 2014

Modify chapter_sd.tex
\chapter{Standard Deviation} \label{C:SD} \end{equation} We can see that equation \ref{E:sd} uses equation \ref{E:mean} to compute the mean and that the \emph{Mean} function uses equation \ref{E:sum} both of which are defined in Chapter \ref{C:Sum} and \ref{C:Mean}, respectively 39

Including image graphics into you LaTeX document


Need to convert your image graphics into EPS (encapsulated postscript).
For images, use pnmtops, e.g. % pnmtops MyCat.pgm > MyCat.ps

Need to include an extension package to LaTeX called graphics using command


\usepackage{graphics}

N.B. In CIS systems, following example works for latex but not for pdflatex 43
Rolando V. Raqueo Wednesday, April 23, 2014

Image Graphics Example (image.tex)


\documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphics} \begin{document} \begin{figure} \includegraphics{MyCat.ps} \caption{This is My Cat} \label{F:MyCat} \end{figure} \end{document} 44
