Trim Figure

Reference: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/57420/41568

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
% trim from left edge
\includegraphics[trim={5cm 0 0 0},clip=true]{example-image-a}
% trim from right edge
\includegraphics[trim={0 0 5cm 0},clip=true]{example-image-a}
\end{document}

Trim option takes four input as follows:

trim={<left> <lower> <right> <upper>}

along with this we should switch on the clip option to true. Only then it will trim the image.

Firures Positioning

Few important points to note:

  1. The content of the image should not be broken over page.
  2. It should be labelled and correctly referenced.
specifier positioning place
h place here
t top of page
b bottom of page
p on a special page
! force the position
H place precisely at the location where it is defined

Put figure at the center

For this we need to use the \centering as shown below:

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics{test.pdf}
\end{figure}

Multiple Figures

way-1

\begin{figure}[!htbp]
    \centering
    \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.5\textwidth}
        %\includegraphics[width=7.5cm, height=5.5cm]{Indian_foils_H20.pdf}
        \includegraphics[width=7.5cm, height=5.5cm]{figures/GEM/figures/Fig_11(a).pdf}
        \caption{ }
        \label{fig:Indian_foils_H20}
    \end{subfigure}
    \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.46\textwidth}
        %\includegraphics[width=7.5cm, height=5.5cm]{CERN_foils.pdf}
        \includegraphics[width=7.5cm, height=5.5cm]{figures/GEM/figures/Fig_11(b).pdf}
        \caption{ }
        \label{fig:CERN_foils}

   \caption{Leakage Current of (a) Micropack Foils and (b) CERN Foils, at an average temperature of T=27$^{\circ}$C and relative humidity equal to 20\%.} \label{fig:L_01}
\end{figure}

Forcing Line-Break in \url{}

To line break we can use the sloppypar feature:

\begin{sloppypar}
Madgraph cards are located here: \url{https://github.com/cms-sw/genproductions/tree/pre2017/bin/MadGraph5_aMCatNLO/cards/production/13TeV/VBS/VVjj_semileptonic}

How to use todonotes

Ref:1: http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/todo-notes/ Ref:2: todonotes manual

\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\usepackage[colorinlistoftodos]{todonotes}

after \begin{document} put ` \listoftodos`

  • To disable to-do notes without manually removing each one put
\usepackage[disable]{todonotes}

how to use todonotes in table

  • Use option inline
  • Also, you might need to use the minipage to restrict the size of table.

Reference: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/65120/41568

Add Line number

\usepackage{lineno} % in preamble
% [...]
\linenumbers  % after \begin{document}

Add Footnote in table

\begin{table}[htdp]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
& PatAddTTCoord & AddTTClusterTool\\
\hline
hit-efficiency\footnotemark & 93.2 \% & 90.6 \% \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\label{tb:comp1}
\end{table}

\footnotetext[\value{footnote}]{Hit-efficiency is defined in section}

degree symbol

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\begin{document}
The angle is \ang{30}.
\end{document}

Decrease top margin for table

Just use the \vspace{-7.5em} inside the table environment.

\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{adjustwidth}{-3cm}{}
\vspace{-7.5em}%
.....
\end{table}

Big O and related notations in LaTeX

There are two possible ways to type the big O:

$O(n\log{}n)$ % regular O

$\mathcal{O}(n\log{}n)$ % Open at top left

The latter produces the following:

\[\mathcal{O}(n\log{}n)\]

chapter and section titles overlap removal

With fancyhdr sometimes chapter and section titles overlaps when they are long. It looks like:

To fix this replace:

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}

with

\usepackage{fancyhdr,ragged2e}
\fancyhead{}
\lhead{\parbox[t]{0.4\textwidth}{\RaggedRight\rightmark\strut}}
\rhead{\parbox[t]{0.4\textwidth}{\RaggedLeft\leftmark\strut}}
\setlength{\headheight}{5\baselineskip}
\pagestyle{fancy}

After fix it becomes:

Add bibliograph

\usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=numeric,sorting=none]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{ThesisBibliography.bib} % ThesisBibliography.bib is the name of file where all the bibliography are listed.



% before end document
  \printbibliography

in file ThesisBibliography.bib add bibliography like

@TechReport{LHC-tdr-vol1,
  author      = {Bruning, Oliver S. and Collier, P. and Lebrun, P. and Myers, S. and Ostojic, R. and Poole, J. and Proudlock, P.},
  title       = {LHC Design Report Vol.1: The LHC Main Ring},
  institution = {CERN},
  year        = {2004},
  type        = {techreport},
  number      = {CERN-2004-003-V1, CERN-2004-003, CERN-2004-003-V-1},
  abstract    = {The LHC Design Report is presented in three volumes: the first concerns the main ring, the second the infrastructure and general services and the third, the injector chain. The conceptual design was published in 1995 and this report provides a snapshot of the detailed design as it stands at the time of writing - early 2004.},
  file        = {:/Users/ramkrishna/cernbox/ThesisReference_2018/LHC/CERN-2004-003-V1-ft.pdf:PDF},
  keywords    = {LHC},
  url         = {https://cds.cern.ch/record/782076},
}

Then run first the latex command theen bibtex <fileNamee.tex> then again latex command like below:

    pdflatex  thesis.tex
    bibtex thesis.tex
    pdflatex  thesis.tex

Add appendix

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[toc,page]{appendix}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\chapter{Regular Chapter}
\begin{appendices}
\chapter{Some Appendix}
The contents...
\end{appendices}

\end{document}
