This is still only a very rough documentation, but it should be better than no
|
|
documentation. If anything is unclear, please post a request (preferably with a
|
|
patch) at the bugtracker.

\section{Introduction}
|
|
\baposter{} is a LaTeX template to efficently design pretty posters for
|
|
scientific conferences. Posters are composited of blocks with headings, which
|
|
can be positioned easily on the page, using absolute or relative positioning. A
|
|
number of predefined styles can be composed to generate new color schemes and
|
|
ornaments.
|
|
|
|
\section{Usage}
|
|
Refer to the included example posters for the overall structure. I will document the different keys here.
|
|
The main environment for the poster is the \texttt{poster} environment. It has the following structure
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\begin{poster}{
|
|
key=value options
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
Eye Catcher, empty if option eyecatcher=no
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
Poster Title
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
Poster Authors
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
University Logo
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Definition of the boxes
|
|
|
|
\end{poster}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\begin{center}
|
|
\setlength{\fboxsep}{0pt}
|
|
\fbox{\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{docs-structure}}
|
|
\end{center}
|
|
|
|
It should be immediately inside the
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\begin{document}
|
|
\end{document}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
environment, or there will be blank pages.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you can pass some options for page size selection directly to the class file.
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\documentclass[class options]{baposter}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Class Options}
|
|
The class options are
|
|
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item [landscape/portrait] Page Layout
|
|
\item [a0paper, a1paper, a2paper, a3paper, a4paper, archE] Predefined paper sizes
|
|
\item [paperwidth=length,paperheight=length] Width/Height of the paper. Do not use together with a0paper or other predefined paper sizes.
|
|
\item [margin=length] Page margin
|
|
\item [fontscale=real number] Scaling of the poster. The poster is typeset with
|
|
standard font sizes on a `fontscale times papersize' paper, and then scaled up
|
|
by 1/fontscale to the chosen paper size. This ensures good looking font sizes.
|
|
So if you need to fit more onto a poster, increase the fontscale option to get
|
|
smaller fonts. But be sure not to choose too small fonts, or your paper will be
|
|
awful. I find posters with small print a nuisance, and tend to spend more time
|
|
with well presented and concise content.
|
|
\item [showframe] Show a frame around the page, mainly useful for debugging.
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|

|
|
\item[columns=4] Number of columns (default 4 in landscape and 3 in portrait format) (maximum number is 6)
|
|
\item[colspacing=length] Distance between the columns of the poster
|
|
\item[headerheight=length] Height of the main poster header as a length (not of the headers of the text boxes). Default value is \verb+0.1\textheight+.
|
|
\item[background=poster background type] Type of poster background. Possible values are
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item \verb+plain+: Plain background in one color (\verb+bgColorOne+)

|
|
\item \verb+shade-tb+: Vertical background gradient (from \verb+bgColorOne+ to \verb+bgColorTwo+)

|
|
\item[eyecatcher=\{yes,no\}] Should an eye catcher be shown on the
