LaTex – a macro package based on Tex with predefined layouts
Dr. Leslie Lamport (Microsoft Research) - 1980s

LaTex Production Chain
WYSIWYG vs. LaTex
• Focus on content then the appearance• Best for writing lot of Math• References - Bibliography• Manage large documents• Professional output quality• Predefined layouts• Portable – any OS – hardware etc• Creative • FREE
WYSIWIG – “What you see is what you get “ or “What is see is ALL what you get”
WYSIWYG vs. LaTex
• Learning curve• Short documents• Custom layouts
WYSIWIG – “What you see is what you get “ or “What is see is ALL what you get”
LaTex Classes
Article Report Book Letter
Ordinary documents -paper
Large organizedDocuments
-Thesis
Books Letter
Many new class files can be created modifying the above4 base class files
(Ex: IEEEtran.cls – derived from article.cls)
% Comments
\documentclass [options] {style}

Table
% This is an example.tex\documentclass [12pt]{article}
\begin {document}\section {Introduction}\label {intro}
This is section on Introduction.
\subsection {experiment}\label {exp}
This is an example subsection.Please refer Section.\ref {intro} for introduction. Refer Section \ref {exp}
\end {document}
Example.tex
Writing a document in Latex
Very easy to manage all the references in long documents
References within a document
% This is an example.tex\documentclass [12pt]{article}\bibliographystyle {IEEEtran}\begin {document}\section {Introduction}\label {intro}
This is section on Introduction.
\subsection {experiment}\label {exp}
This is an example subsection. Thiswork is based on the MP algorithm \cite {mallat2}
\bibliography {bibfile}\end {document}

Writing a document in Latex
Order and numbering of the references are automatic. Insertinga new citation reorders the references ( a cool feature !)
Citing other works
Writing a document in Latex Let us put
everything together
- \title-\author-\section
-\subsection- \section
- \subsection- figure-Table- \ref- \cite
- \documentclass -\begin- \end
- \maketitle
Class, Style files in Latex \usepackage{conf.sty} & \documentclass{journ.cls}

Getting the TOOLS !
On Unix Platforms
- Latex Preinstalled (dept. ) - Xfig – a very good drawing program to create figures
On Windows platform
-MikTex – Tex for windows (Latex) - Xfig not native in windows (cygwin) - Openoffice (draw) can create *.eps figures- Dia
