General ⇒ about Algorithm

[starnjust]

Hi.
I have a problem in formatting an algorithm.

How can I generate an algorithm which have the following two features:
1) A title is in the top of the algorithm, not in the bottom;
2) There is no horizontal lines in the algorithm.

I have tried algorithmicx, but it either had three horizontal lines or its tile was at the bottom. When I used pseudocode, it title is in its top and had no such lines, but its title must be a function name with some input parameters, not a title in the form of a sentence.

Could anybody give me some suggestions?

It's actually not algorithmicx that prints the lines. It's the algorithms environment. You can use different styles,

• plain
• ruled
• boxed

by adding them as package option, such as

Code: Select all

\usepackage[boxed]{algorithm}

Furthermore, you could define your own style. Let me know if you still need it.
