<h1>Cambridge University LaTeX poster style file</h1>
|
|
|
|
This page gives a brief summary of a latex style file, cuposter.cls,
|
|
for creating conference posters in latex. It is based on a style file
|
|
from the University of Edinburgh, with a simple change of logo. This
|
|
style file allows you to create an A0 (or smaller) poster in
|
|
encapsulated PostScript format. I include a sample poster here; you
|
|
should be able to regenerate the A4 poster by simply typing
|
|
<p>
|
|
% make
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
If there are no mistakes in the latex, an <a href="a4poster.eps">A4
|
|
poster</a> should be created. This version can be printed out on A4
|
|
paper.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Once happy with your final version of the poster, you can then create
|
|
an <a href="a0poster.eps">A0 poster</a> using the command:
|
|
<p>
|
|
% make scalea0
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Read the <a href="Makefile">Makefile</a> for ways to change filenames,
|
|
and create other sizes of poster (it currently can make A0, A1, A2,
|
|
A3, A4). Note that I have hardcoded the use of Times font in the
|
|
header. (That should probably be changed to something like
|
|
Helvetica...)
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The default orientation for posters is landscape; passing the option
|
|
"portrait" to the documentclass (see the example file) will create
|
|
portrait posters.

<h2>Download</h2>
|
|
All of the files in this directory (including figures) are available
|
|
in the compressed tar file: <a href="cuposter.tgz">cuposter.tgz</a>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Where to print your document?</h2>
|
|
|
|
The A1 version prints successfully on the
|
|
<a href="http://www.dpmms.cam.ac.uk/Computing/poster_printer.html">DPMMS
|
|
A1 printer</a>, although the paper size is not recognised by
|
|
Ghostscript, so you need to type in the size of the paper (details to
|
|
follow).
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no A0 printer within the CMS. Graduate students within DAMTP
|
|
should be able to get a purchase order for their A0 poster to be
|
|
printed in somewhere like Pandis or Anatomy. Engineering also have
|
|
an <a
|
|
href="http://www-h.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/oper/help/printing.html">A0
|
|
printer</a> but I've yet to be able to test it. If someone is willing
|
|
to test it, let me (sje30 at cam) know.
