PURPOSE

@author Jaroslav Vitku

paperHelpers is a storage of helper files for producing publication-grade graphics (eps,fonts embedded..) and LaTeX documents.

Typical use-case, where this can help:

-plot figures in Matlab -export figures to eps -include eps files in the LaTeX document -build pdf from *.tex file

COMPONENTS

paperFormat.m

Pre-formats figure for two-columns documents.

saveEps.m

Uses the export_fig for saving given Matlab figure into eps, while:

-embeds fonts -avoids LaTeX error: "dvips: Font Helvetica used in file fig/figure.eps is not in the mapping file."

Note that export_fig has dependency on the pdfx-tools which are not installed by default on OS X.

latex/pdf2eps

Can be used to convert (cropped) pdf to eps, which can be used in latex.

Use case:

-get pdf (e.g. exported from Nengo), crop it in preview -call pdf2eps 1 source.pdf -use eps in LaTeX

latex/build

Script which helps building pdf file from the tex file while:

-using bibtex library -embedding all fonts
