Manual for Preparation of Posters of any size using sciposter.cls

Section header conforming to settings and italics body. figure no longer floating because that would not make sense in a poster. table no longer floating. algorithm no longer floating (note: do not include algorithm.sty). As a consequence of the redefinition of figure the command \subfigure has been redefined. Therefore, do not include package subfigure.sty. All redefinitions adhere to the original syntax, and as closely as possible to the original meaning. 4.1 Customizing captions in floats As of version 1.15, \caption has an extra, optional parameter, which indicates the fraction of the current column width taken up by the caption (default 1). Thus \caption[0.5]{A narrow figure caption} creates a caption only half the width of the column. This can be used to fit the caption in a 2 row by 2 column tabular containing three images. Captions in the “floating” environments all consist of two parts: the caption start, specified by the \capstart command, and the caption body text. In the figure environment the \capstart command is defined as: \renewcommand{\capstart}{% \figcapstartstyle{\figurename\nobreakspace\thefigure:}% } As of version 1.17, the captions are customizable in various ways. First of all, the new version uses \figurename, \tablename, and \algorithmname to decide what the \capstart part should start with, for figures, tables, and algorithms, respectively. The \figurename and \tablename command are redefined by the language of the document, so that the babel package is properly supported by sciposter now. Because no support for changing \algorithmname is available in babel, changing the first word in \capstart for algorithm to the appropriate one for the language of choice can be done by redefining \algorithmname in the usual way, e.g. for Dutch, add
