8. Entering & Editing References

9. Bibus • Bibus is a bibliographic and reference management software. • It’s an open source software. • Designed for multiuser environments • You can share the database between an "unlimited" number of users

10. Bibus

11. Bibus

12. Latex • Typesetting Tool • Tex created by Donald E. Knuth • LaTeX was originally written by Leslie Lamport • In general, required information is included in LaTeX commands in {}, while optional information is included in square [].

13. Latex • File Structure • Every input file must start with the command \documentclass[option]{class} • Document classes include: • article • report • letter • book • slides

14. Latex • All the standard classes (except slides) accept the following options for selecting the typeface size (10 pt is default): • 10pt, 11pt, 12pt • All classes accept these options for selecting the paper size (default is letter): • a4paper, a5paper, b5paper, letterpaper, legalpaper, executivepaper • The options have to be separated by commas

15. Preamble • We can add new feature to our document by the command \usepackage{…} • And after all setup commands are done, we start the document with the command \begin{document} • And at the end of the document we add the command \end{document}

16. Titles • Provide this information in the preamble of your document: • \title{yourtitlehere} • \author{yournamehere} • \date{currentdate} • Place a \maketitle command immediately after the \begin{document} command.

17. Other useful pages • \tableofcontents - generates TOC • \listoftables - generates LOT • \listoffigures - generates LOF

18. Sectioning • \part • \chapter (report and book class only) • \section • \subsection • \subsubsection • \paragraph • \subparagraph

19. Example • \chapter{Introduction} • \section{Methodology} • \section*{Methodology} • Etc

20. Hyphenation • \hyphenation{word list} \hyphenation{JAVA, Hy-phen-a-tion}

21. Miktex Thai • The current version is 2.7 • It does not support Thai latex package. • Use xelatex instead. \usepackage{fontspec} \usepackage{xunicode} \usepackage{xltxtra} \defaultfontfeatures{Scale=1.10} \setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{BrowalliaUPC} \XeTeXlinebreaklocale "th_TH"

22. Mathematical Typesetting • We can insert equations by adding \begin{equation} \end{equation} • The equation environment centres your equation on the page and places the equation number in the right margin. • Or \begin{align} \end{align} • \usepackage{amsmath}

23. Mathematical Typesetting \begin{align*} f_A(x) = \begin{cases} 1, &\mbox{if }x \in A \\ 0, &\mbox{if }x \notin A \end{cases} \end{align*}

24. Mathematical Typesetting • Mathematical text within a paragraph is entered between • \( and \) • $ and $ • \begin{math} and \end{math} • Mathematical text within a paragraph is entered between • \[ and \] • \begin{displaymath} and \end{displaymath} • $$ and $$

25. Mathematical Typesetting $$ \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}x^k =\frac{x^n-1}{x-1} $$

26. Mathematical Typesetting • Summation of math-mode

27. Mathematical Typesetting • Math-mode symbols

28. Mathematical Typesetting • For Greek letter

29. Mathematical Typesetting \begin{align*} \left( \begin{array}{c} p\\ q \end{array} \right) &= \frac{p!}{q!(p-q)!} \\ &=\frac{\overbrace{(p)(p-1)\dots(q+1)}^{p-q}} {\underbrace{q(q-1)\dots 1}_{q}} \end{align*}

30. Mathematical Typesetting

31. Mathematical Typesetting • Sums, Integrals, and Limits • $$ \sum_{k=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^k}{k+1} = \int_0^1\frac{dx}{1+x} $$

32. Mathematical Typesetting • Sums, Integrals, and Limits • $$ \lim_{x\rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1 $$

33. Arrays $$ \left( \begin{array}{rcl} i_{11}&i_{12}&i_{13}\\ i_{21}&i_{22}&i_{23}\\ i_{31}&i_{32}&i_{33}\\ \end{array} \right) $$

34. Arrays $$ \left[ \begin{array}{rcl} i_{11}&i_{12}&i_{13}\\ i_{21}&i_{22}&i_{23}\\ i_{31}&i_{32}&i_{33}\\ \end{array} \right] $$

35. Arrays $$ \left| \begin{array}{rcl} i_{11}&i_{12}&i_{13}\\ i_{21}&i_{22}&i_{23}\\ i_{31}&i_{32}&i_{33}\\ \end{array} \right| $$

36. Tables • A table can be inserted by the command • \begin{tabular} and \end{tabular} • But to make it complete we must cover it by the command \begin{table} and \end{table} • In the table environment, we can insert label (to be referred by other parts of the document) and caption

37. Tables \begin{table}[t] \caption{ค่าความเป็นสมาชิกในเซตทวินัยและเซตวิภัชนัยของความสูง} \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} \hline ความสูง (เซนติเมตร)&\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{ดีกรีของความเป็นสมาชิก} \\ % see next table for explanation of this command \cline{2-3} &ความเป็นสมาชิกของเซตทวินัย&ความเป็นสมาชิกของเซตวิภัชนัย \\ \hline 150&0&0.00\\ 157&0&0.00\\ 170&0&0.00\\ 171&0&0.05\\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{center} \label{t_fuzzyset} \end{table}

38. Tables

39. Indenting • The default for a LaTeX document is to indent new paragraphs unless the paragraph follows a section heading. • If you want to change the indentation, use the \indent and \noindent commands respectively, at the beginning of the paragraph. • If you wish to choose the amount of indentation for some reason, then use the command: \setlength{\parindent}{size of indentation with unit}

40. Including Graphics • You use the \includegraphics{graphicfile} command to include your graphic file in your document. • If you wish to control the size of the document, you can also specify the height and width: \includegraphics[height=2in, width =3in]{graphicfile}.

41. Useful Packages • For drawing picture in the document • \usepackage{epic} • \usepackage{eepic} • \setlength{\unitlength}{0.120450pt} • \begin{picture}(3000,1350)(0,0) • \footnotesize • \thinlines \path(349,249)(390,249) • \put(308,249){\makebox(0,0)[r]{ 0}} • \thinlines \path(349,434)(390,434) • \put(308,434){\makebox(0,0)[r]{ 0.2}} • \thinlines \path(349,620)(390,620) • \put(308,620){\makebox(0,0)[r]{ 0.4}} • \thinlines \path(349,805)(390,805) • \put(308,805){\makebox(0,0)[r]{ 0.6}} • …
