My Experience with Latex

Most of the papers on Maths, especially those with mathematical formulas, are typeset with Latex. Here I list some of tips:

  1. To include images with different formats:
    • PDF, one can use pdflatex to compile
    • ps, eps, use latex
    Sometimes, when one has to latex (because of some other packages used), one can convert the formats of the images, using the command
    convert

  2. To draw and include pictures, as I mentioned in previous posts, I use JPicEdt for editing to pst files, and then include them by
\include{picture.pst}

However, when pst format is used for Latex, one has to use three steps to compile:
latex -> dvi2ps -> ps2pdf

in order to get the PDF file.
