Graphics and images

  \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.25\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{YOUR IMAGE PATH}
    \caption{Caption 1}
    \label{fig:Label1}
  \end{subfigure}

Create graphs in Latex (With .DOT files)

In header: \usepackage{tikz}

Install dot2tex in your machine (see this). Then run the command on a dot file and it will transform it in a tikzpicture. To resize a tikzpicture :

\begin{tikzpicture}[>=latex',line join=bevel,scale=0.5]

Inline image

$\begin{array}{l}
  \includegraphics[height=0.5cm]{Your Image}
\end{array}$

Columns

\begin{columns}
  \begin{column}{0.6\textwidth}
    Some content
  \end{column}
  \begin{column}{0.4\textwidth}
    Some content
  \end{column}
\end{columns}

Table

\begin{tabular}{|lc|}
  \hline
  C11        & C12    \\
  C21        & C22    \\
  C31        & C32    \\
  \hline
\end{tabular}

A table generator in this Link

• Multicolumn: \multicolumn{2}{c}{TXT}
• Multirow: \multirow{2}{*}{TXT} [Note: add \usepackage{multirow} in header]

Algorithms

In header:

1. \usepackage[linesnumbered,ruled]{algorithm2e}
2. \usepackage{mathtools}

Note: Math Symbols are rendered correctly

Example:

\begin{algorithm}[H]
  \caption{Angluin L* algorithm}
  \label{L_star_algo}
  \KwIn{$\Sigma$}
  \KwOut{$A \text{ such that } L(A) = U$}
  $S \gets \{\E\}, E \gets \{\E\}, T \gets \text{new Dict()}$\;
  \While{$True$}{
    \If{$(S,E,T) \text{ is not complete}$}{
      $complete(S,E,T) \text{ with membership queries}$\;
    }
    \uIf{$(S, E, T) \text{ is not closed}$}{
      BLA\;
    }
    \uElseIf{$(S,E,T) \text{ is not consistent}$}{
      BLA\;
    }
    \Else{
      BLA\;
      \uIf{$\text{teacherAnswer is a counter example t}$}{
        \For{$p \in Pref(t)$}{
          BLA\;
        }
      }
      \Else{
        \Return A \tcp*{The Teacher accepted the automaton}
      }
    }
  }
\end{algorithm}

Minted

In header: \usepackage[outputdir=.aux]{minted}

[outputdir=.aux] is the optional argument telling minted where to put the compiled files. Note that this requires to pass the option --output-directory=.aux to be passed.

To compile with minted, you need to pass the argument --shell-escape. When sending conference paper, the CI may not use --shell-escape, to overcome this issue, follow this. Essentially, you build once the project with --shell-escape and the flag finalizecache in the \usepackage[finalizecache]{minted}, then the source code to send should have the flag frozencache, like this: \usepackage[frozencache]{minted}

Miscellaneous

In the table of content (TOC) if you put a * after the section, it will not be considered Example:

\section*{Introduction}

Introduction will not be in the TOC

---

Rotate text :

\usepackage{rotating}
\begin{turn}{90}
  Text
\end{turn}

Compile with bibliography

To set the out folder. (Note: If you use mint for algorithms, remember to include \usepackage[outputdir=.aux]{minted})

1. pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode --shell-escape %.tex -output-directory .aux
2. biber --output_directory .aux %

Beamer

Element appears after x : uncover<2->{YOUR-ELEMENT} For list (enumerate or itemize) : [<+->] every item appears in a new slide

---

To put a content in multiple pages

 \begin{frame}[allowframebreaks]{Title}

Install custom version

cd /tmp                                  # or some other working directory
wget https://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/historic/systems/texlive/20XX/tlnet-final/install-tl-unx.tar.gz # XX is a year version
zcat < install-tl-unx.tar.gz | tar xf -  # See below about the tar archive name
cd install-tl-*/                         # Replace with the directory that zcat/tar actually produced
sudo mkdir /usr/local/texlive
sudo chown $USER /usr/local/texlive      # See below regarding root or group ownership
./install-tl -repository ftp://tug.org/historic/systems/texlive/20XX/tlnet-final

Finally, prepend /usr/local/texlive/20XX/bin/x86_64-linux (replacing the year and platform as appropriate) to your PATH
