Welcome to MyLaTeX_Gallery

This term (2018 spring, Beihang University), I wrote a lot of LaTeX code to get my homeworks done. Here is a collection of projects that I take most pride of and want to share with you. You can wander around and get inspiration and use them for your own projects.

How Does It Work

Well, I covered many typical constructs of LaTeX like including figures, laying out tables, typesetting formulas and algorithms and drawing high-resolution svg graphics in these projects, so reading the source code may give you some idea of how different constructs work. The organization of the source files is quite typical so they are good starting points for a new project. The contents of the papers are not very relevant in terms of LaTeX constructs and you can freely delete them if you wish. Besides, I drew most of the figures using inkscape (I download some of them from the Internet) so you may modify them with inkscape to suit you needs (remember to quote the original authors. You don't need to quote me though :-).

Language

Most of the the documents are in Chinese and the typesetting conventions follows that of Chinese. In fact, it is actually meant for those who want to typeset Chinese documents. This project aims to provide a bundle of working examples about how to make bueatiful documents in Chinese with LaTeX. I hope it really helps.

Requirements

Here are the minimum requirements you must meet:

  • Ubuntu-16.04. It is the only tested platform by now.
  • Texlive. It is the only tested tex distribution by now.
  • CTeX. The Chinese TeX Package. It is bundled with Texlive.
  • Inkscape. Open source 2D graphics editor that produces high quality svg graphics. The project uses the svg package, which needs inkscape to work.

Other requirements you're recommended to meet:

  • Vimtex. A Vim plugin that makes your tex life a heaven.
  • Chinese. My native language. It is great! You won't regret mastering it!

Install

You're recommended to use Ubuntu-16.04 as your build environment.

Install Texlive

You can download Texlive from the official website but a faster mirror is that of Tsinghua University. There are various choices of installation, but the file install-tl-unx.tar.gz is sufficient to retrieve packages and programs for you. Extract it and follow the instructions you find there. It will take 30 minutes to one hour depending on your network condition.

Install CTeX

Normally included in the distribution. If it is not the case, reinstall with a schema that takes most of the packages.

Install Inkscape

Download it from official website or use your system package manager:

sudo apt-get install inkscape

Install Vimtex

This is not required. However, if you're using Vim to edit tex files, this plugin can provide continuous compilation and smart pair-completions like \begin{env} and \end{env}, which speeds up your job considerably. Install it with your favourite plugin manager!

Acknowledgement

I'd like to acknowledge my teacher on the class Research Methodology to strongly advise us to try out LaTeX. It turned out to me that LaTeX is such a charming tool for typesetting. I'd like thank my teams in all those projects. Without you there won't be such great projects. Thank you sincerely.
