Keywords: LaTeX, TeX

In the end of June this year the Dutch TeX users group will organize
its first (mini) conference. Part of the program will consists of
courses in LaTeX (introduction), LaTeX document styles, and METAFONT.
Since there have been many similar courses at both international and
European TeX meetings it would be a case of re-inventing the wheel if
people here would develop their teaching material from scratch.
Would it be possible to receive material from people involved in
similar courses, let's say in the US, Canada, the UK, Germany

  - 1. in English
  - 2. TeX `coded'

that we can use for our conference this summer?

The figure number of a figure environment is generated by the
*caption* command. This means that a label command should always
*follow* a caption command, eg.

\begin{figure}[h]
\vspace{1in} %picture
\caption{First}
\label{fig1}
\end{figure}

Hope this helps (no, it's not very obvious, or logical....).

   While Don Hosek's comment:

>Ideally, complicated graphics should be handled outside of TeX and
>included as whole images.

is clearly correct for truly compicated graphics, I think it would be highly
desirable if standard dvi drivers would recognize \specials for accurate
straight line drawing (with arbitrary endpoints).
Dvi drivers with this capability allow one, for example, to prepare
high quality graphs using TeX to produce everything (axes, tick marks,
axis labels, ...) except drawing the lines connecting actual data points.
This is best done by using a \special to pass the dvi driver a list
of coordinate pairs.

    Such an approach can have the advantages of (1) drawing simple graphics
with maximal resolution, (2) efficiently passing large numbers of coordinates
to the driver (which is neccesary for smooth curves), and (3) storing both
the textual and graphical information in a single file.  The last point
may not seem important until you've prepared a paper with a very large
number of figures.  If the data for each figure is effeciently stored
within the .dvi file itself (instead of in hundreds of separate files)
"sending" the paper to a remote printer, or a remote coauthor is enormously
simplified.

Special graphics fonts, which can only draw lines at certain angles,
are totally inadequate.  Similarly, schemes which force TeX to process
each and every pixel in a straignt line (and hence consume memory within
TeX) are inadequate for accurate, smooth curves, where you may need to
pass many thousand coordinate pairs to the driver.

Subject: TeX and Graphics
Keywords: Tex, graphics

There have been numerous proposals lately about graphics in TeX. I
think most of them miss the point in that the greatest need is for the
capability of importing, in a device independent manner, the output
from various graphics packages. If you are only interested in allowing
TeX devotees to create their own pretty pictures then almost any system
will do, but if you want to play with the big boys then you have to use
their ball.

The only format with any widespread acceptance is the CGM format, an
ISO and ANSI standard that is steamrolling over any opposition, backed
by the CALS and TOP/MAP organisations.  At the Pittsburgh Supercomputing
Center we have standardised our two-dimensional graphics on CGM files,
which are being produced by all of our graphics packages including
DISSPLA, NCAR, DI-3000 and Movie-BYU.  I wrote our official CGM
translator, GPLOT, which handles the files from all of these packages
in either binary or clear text format.  While I was writing this system
I integrated in an old DVI processor I wrote called GTEX so that they
used common device drivers. The upshot of this is that any graphics
page produced at PSC can be included in any TeX output to almost any
output device we support via a \special command. To keep things simple
for the users an identical interface is used at command level or inside
the \special command. E.g., (under UNIX) the command might be 
gplot -dps -p3 example.cgm example.ps
to make PostScript output from page 3 of the example.cgm file.
\special{gplot -p3 -x3.5 -y3.5 example.cgm}
inside of a TeX file would tell GTEX to grab page 3 of the example.cgm
file, scale it to fit a 3.5 by 3.5 inch square and set the origin at
the point from which the \special was called.

GPLOT and GTEX are in C and run under VMS, UNIX, ULTRIX and UNICOS, we
are presently supporting X11, PostScript, QUIC (QMS), SCGI (SUN), GKS,
UIS (DEC), Peritek frame buffer, CGM Binary and CGM Clear Text output,
although some of them (X) are moving targets and are still being
debugged.  

I'm not convinced that my interface is the best possible, but I do
believe that the only practical method of interaction with graphics
packages is via the CGM standard. For simple stuff a Clear Text cgm
file can be written by hand.

There is one need not covered by this; the sometimes necessity of
interfacing graphical specifics to the position of TeX elements, e.g.,
a line joining two TeX boxes. This could be handled by almost any system;
for convenience I have left a \special interface to allow the user to
call any CGM element (e.g., polylines, polygons, etc.), but if the TeX
community could come up with device-independent standard I would support
it. It is often easier to use something already in existence (like CGM)
so that you don't waste time over what should or shouldn't suffice and
reduce TeX and Graphics to Mark Twain's weather.

Subject: What do you mean "french" spacing?
Keywords: TeX

This has been puzzling me for a while...

When I first read the TeXbook, I was impressed by the trickery
that put double space after a period, even when that period
was hidden inside brackets. Then, I realised that the result
was undesirable: a period carries its own space, and the extra
space breaks the evenness of the paragraph that TeX achieves so
admirably by its line breaking algorithm.

Let me quote two sources that agree with me.

In a paragraph entitled "don't impose typewriter habits",
Rubinstein (Digital Typography, Addison-Wesley 1988) writes

 Do not double space or add extra space after periods or other
 punctuation. The usual typesetting practice is to use the
 same spacing as between words, although there are differences of
 opinion [...]. However, putting two space characters in the text
 may add far too much space, and the period itself creates some
 extra visual space because of its size and position.
 Adding space after punctuation encourages the formation of rivers
 of white within the text.

For a statement from the non-digital world consult the "Hart's rules
for compositors and readers at the Oxford University Press"
(39th edition, the first was printed before America was discovered:-)

 The space of the line should be used after all points
 in normal text. A special direction, `Close, with extra space
 after sentence full points', will be given for works which require
 an extra space after sentence full points (e.g. some bibliographies,
 dictionaries, and Classical texts).

So, why did Knuth so emphatically put the 'nonfrenchspacing' in TeX
as the default? (Maybe the rumour is true that he wrote TeX to
typeset 'the art of computer programming', which no doubt he
intended to be a Classical text. :-)

%%% Moderators' note: North American (also British Isles?) conventions

%%% and to make it essentially dependent on the average length of

The settings are found in Doug Henderson's mode_def settings column
in the TUGboat. The specifics are:

mode_def ibm_a =    % ibm mode: for the IBM3812
 proofing:=0;      % no, we're not making proofs
 fontmaking:=1;      % yes, we are making a font
 tracingtitles:=0;    % no, don't show titles in the log
 pixels_per_inch:=240;
 blacker:=.4;      % (this value is conjectural)
 fillin:=-.2;      % (ditto)
 o_correction:=.4;    % (ditto)
 enddef;
