Figure to span multiple pages

Hello latex wizards,

If this has been answered elsewhere please let me know, I searched and found nothing pertaining to this.

I have 2 files (a.pdf & b.pdf) that are conceptually part of the same 'Figure'. Both of the files contain 2 graphs that are split to improve readability because altogether ...

Adjust vertical spaces with \lineskip instead of \parskip

Quick follow-up:

Stefan suggested the following code:
\setlength{\parskip}{1pt plus 1pt minus 0.5pt}

Where is there an explanation of this syntax?
1pt plus 1pt minus 0.5pt

I have the latex companion and have found the setlength reference (p.855), but this is not explained as far as I could ...

Re: Controlling font size in math mode

Stefan...You.Are.The.Man!!!

That is awesome, I have no idea how that works, but it is WAY simpler than my solution of \relsize in front of every column definition.

Thank you very much!!

Re: Controlling font size in math mode

I couldn't get the nccmath package working. Its conflicting with another package, and I don't want to debug the file at this point to figure out what its mad at. Amsmath causes an error as well so something is grumpy. As a work around I forced the data to be the same size and switched back to normal ...

Controlling font size in math mode

Hi BA!

Thanks for the suggestions! I did try \mathsmaller but it didn't work very well. Because I use dcolumn to create new column type, every digit is treated separately :( so in order to get 0.66 to be consistent, I need:


component & \mathsmaller 0. \mathsmaller6 \mathsmaller6 & ...

Controlling font size in math mode

Hello everyone,

I'm sure this is simple but I can't find a solution for this. I have a table defined with a custom column to align along the decimal point. As a result, the content is being treated as being in math mode. Because the table is large, I'd like to reduce the size of the font in each ...

dear localghost,

thank you! I know this will sound stupid, but I'm looking at the txfonts directory on ctan and there are a bunch of directories (afm, doc, egtc)...where do i put the contents of these folders? The problem is that on a mac, I have no idea where latex is installed, i've looked and ...
