LaTeX Resources

This table gives links to some of the things I have done in LaTeX. I hope this will of use to others learning LaTeX.

Introduction to LaTeX Basic stuff including mathematical formulas, matrices, external graphics, bibliographies.
Dynamic presentations using TeXpower and PSTricks A typical presentation consists of displaying a sequence of slides (a metaphor for screens) in a pre-determined order. This presentation is to demonstrate methods for preparing dynamic presentations in the following contexts:
Rather than showing a set of slides in pre-determined order, one may select the slides and their order after the presentation starts. This would likely be in response to questions from the audience.
If the discussion gets deep, it may be useful to visit a web site.
A math professor might want to show a multi-line derivation one line at a time to focus attention to the current point of discussion.
An engineer might want to show a graphic depicting the assembling a device one part at a time.
This material was presented at Practical Tex 2005 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The version here does not contain the Four Bugs Problem, as I want to present that locally before putting it on line.
The source code is in dynamic.zip.
Posters, Presentations, and Manuscripts from the Same LaTeX Source This material was presented at Practical Tex 2004 in San Francisco and subsequently published in the first issue of The Prac TeX Journal. The version here was revised June 11, 2005.
With some planning, the same source code can be formatted for screen display, manuscripts, or posters using the TeXpower and geometry packages. Click icons to the right to view the manual formatted three ways. The source code is in 3formats.zip.

This table gives links to packages that I use a lot.

The TeXpower package The TeXpower package provides mechanisms for incremental display and pleasing color schemes. Visit the TeXpower web site, http://TeXpower.sourceforge.net for complete information. Click the icon at the right to view a demonstration file.
The PSTricks package The PStricks package provides a user friendly front end to the PostScript programming language. It is a generic TeX package providing expansive computational graphics capabilities. For documentation, visit the PSTricks web site, http://tug.org/PSTricks/
The geometry package The geometry package makes it easier to specify page layouts and to magnify text. It is likely that the geometry package is part of your TeX/LaTeX distribution. If not, download it from CTAN. Click the icon at the right to view the manual.
