I would like to create an a0 poster with the baposter class which seems to me to be very efficient. My code has worked and compiled until I changed the number of column in the class options in the beginning of the document.
In the following code, when I delete
columns=2, the poster is compiling correctly and get me the default number of column (here it is 3 because it is a portrait poster).Code: Select all
...
\begin{poster}%
% Poster Options
% Number of column starts from 0
{columns=2
% Show grid to help with alignment
grid=false,
% Column spacing
colspacing=0.8em,
...columns=2 option, it generated this error :
Code: Select all
! Package calc Error: `g' invalid at this point.
See the calc package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...
l.138 ...5cm}{logo2}\end{minipage}\hspace*{1.5cm}}
I expected to see one of: + - * / )
! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).
<to be read again>
\protect
l.138 ...5cm}{logo2}\end{minipage}\hspace*{1.5cm}}
Dimensions can be in units of em, ex, in, pt, pc,
cm, mm, dd, cc, nd, nc, bp, or sp; but yours is a new one!
I'll assume that you meant to say pt, for printer's points.
To recover gracefully from this error, it's best to
delete the erroneous units; e.g., type `2' to delete
two letters. (See Chapter 27 of The TeXbook.)Code: Select all
