5. www ctan org One final note about this as mentioned elsewhere IATFX eats spaces following commands such as dna In order to get a space the first dna needs to be followed by something which causes the space to be preserved In the second dna it is immediately followed by punctuation in this case and so there is no need to do anything special If you have a hard time remembering this and don t mind a bit of extra typing you could always write after commands as follows I try to eat some dna every day I like dna you will get this output I try to eat some deoxyribonucleic acid every day I like deoxyribonucleic acid 5 2 Examples of Lists There are numerous examples of places that we might want to use a list We might use a described list which is begun with begin description ended with end description and where each item is introduced with item text The text for the first item below is First Item First Item This thesis talks about SPECIALACRONYM Second This thesis talks about XML 2 Final Point This thesis talks about the future Or we might want to use a bulleted list started with begin itemize and each item then has no text e This thesis talks about SPECIALACRONYM e This thesis talks about XML 2 by Head et al 2 e This thesis talks about the future 8 2 EXAMPLES OF LISTS 25 Or we might use a numbere

12. to use TikZ PGF for your graphics There is a very extensive user manual for this package on a Linux system run the command texdoc tikz to see the documentation As a final example in Figure 7 1 an example of a graph theoretic graph drawn using TikZ PGF is shown note that the textual labels of the graph perfectly match the rest of the text If you want to see the commands used to create Figure 7 1 look in the 36 CHAPTER 7 CREATING AND INCLUDING GRAPHICS graphics info tex input file If you need to perk your interest a bit more look at http www texample net tikz examples to see a gallery of sample figures produced using TikZ PGF Figure 7 1 The Petersen Graph Aside from the matching text size and typeface in Figure 7 1 note the symmetry and precision of the placement of the circles and the fact that the lines are positioned exactly as they should be Learning a bit of TikZ PGF to create figures will take a while but it is worth it Conversely doing a mediocre job with a GUI drawing program is easy but doing something worthy of your thesis using most GUI tools is much trickier Chapter 8 Figures and Tables 8 1 Floats A float is an object in a document that should not be broken across multiple pages The term float signifies that IXTEX may move a floating object within the document to preserve the flow of the document e g to ensure that the bottom of a page doesn t have a gaping hole simply bec
