A very short introduction to LaTeX
„Programming“ a text document
Similarities to HTML
No WYSIWYG
Most convenient to use a LaTeX distribution
and a LaTeX IDE (integrated development
environment)

A very short introduction to LaTeX
First install a LaTeX Distribution
MiKTeX
Then a LaTeX IDE
TeXnicCenter
Texmaker
LEd

A very short introduction to LaTeX
Extract the archive acmsiggraph.zip
Open a command line window
Go to the directory where template.tex is
On command line type: epstopdf sample.eps
In LaTeX IDE open template.tex
Change all sample.eps to sample.pdf
Produce PDF document
In TeXnicCenter open template.tex
Select LaTeX=>PS output profile
Produce a PS document
Convert PS to PDF using Adobe Distiller
