LaTeX Author Guidelines for EUROGRAPHICS Proceedings Manuscripts

All manuscripts must be in English.

All printed material, including text, illustrations, and charts, must be kept within a print area 7 inches (17.7 cm) wide by 9.44 inches (24 cm) high. Do not write or print anything outside the print area. Number your pages on odd sites right above, on even sites left above, no page number on the first site. Do not use page numbering within the final version of your paper.

All text with the exception of the abstract must be in a two-column format. The total allowable width of the text area – including header and footer lines – is 177 mm (7 inch) wide by 245 mm (9.64 inch) high.

Columns are to be 84 mm (3.3 inch) wide, with a 8 mm (0.315 inch) space between them.

The space between the header line and the first line of the text body and between the last line of the text body and the footer line is 5 mm (0.196 inch) each.

Wherever Times is specified, Times Roman may also be used. If neither is available on your word processor, please use the font closest in appearance to Times that you have access to. Only Type-1 fonts will be accepted.

MAIN TITLE. The title should be in Times 17-point, boldface type and centered. Capitalize the first letter of nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs; do not capitalize articles, coordinate conjunctions, or prepositions (unless the title begins with such a word). Leave two blank lines after the title.

AUTHOR NAME(s) and AFFILIATION(s) are to be centered beneath the title and printed in Times 9-point, non-boldface type. This information is to be followed by two blank lines.

The ABSTRACT ist to be in a one-column format. The MAIN TEXT is to be in a two-column format.

MAIN TEXT. Type main text in 9-point Times, single-spaced. Do not use double-spacing. All paragraphs should be indented 1 em (the length of the dash in the actual font). Make sure your text is fully justified – that is, flush left and flush right. Please do not place any additional blank lines between paragraphs. Figure and table captions should be 9-point Times boldface type as in Figure 2.

FIRST-ORDER HEADINGS. (For example, 1. Introduction) should be Times 9-point boldface, initially capitalized, flush left, with one blank line before, and one blank line after.

SECOND-ORDER HEADINGS. (For example, 2.1. Language) should be Times 9-point boldface, initially capitalized, flush left, with one blank line before, and one after. If you require a third-order heading (we discourage it), use 9-point Times, boldface, initially capitalized, flush left, preceded by one blank line, followed by a period and your text on the same line.

The headline (authors / title) must be shortened if it uses the full two column width of the main text. There must be enough space for the page numbers. Please use “et al.” if there are more than three authors and specify a shortened version for your title.

Please do not use footnotes at all!

List all bibliographical references in 9-point Times, single-spaced, at the end of your paper in alphabetical order. When referenced in the text, enclose the citation index in square brackets, for example [Lous90]. Where appropriate, include the name(s) of editors of referenced books.

For your references please use the following algorithm:

• •

  one author: first 3 chars plus year – e.g. [Lous90]

• •

  two, three or four authors: first char of each family name plus year – e.g. [Fellner-Helmberg93] or [Kobbelt97-USHDR] or [Lafortune97-NARF]

• •

  more than 4 authors: first char of family name from first 3 authors followed by a ’*’ followed by the year – e.g. [Buhmann:1998:DCQ] or [FolDamFeiHug.etal93]

For BibTeX users a style file  eg-alpha.bst and eg-alpha-doi.bst  is available which uses the above algorithm.

For Biber users a style file  EG.bbx  is available which uses the above algorithm.

All graphics should be centered.

If your paper includes images, it is very important that they are of sufficient resolution to be faithfully reproduced.

To determine the optimum size (width and height) of an image, measure the image’s size as it appears in your document (in millimeters), and then multiply those two values by 12. The resulting values are the optimum $x$ and $y$ resolution, in pixels, of the image. Image quality will suffer if these guidelines are not followed.

Example 1: An image measures 50 mm by 75 mm when placed in a document. This image should have a resolution of no less than 600 pixels by 900 pixels in order to be reproduced faithfully.

Example 2: Capturing a screenshot of your entire $1024\times 768$ pixel display monitor may be useful in illustrating a concept from your research. In order to be reproduced faithfully, that $1024\times 768$ image should be no larger than 85 mm by 64 mm (approximately) when placed in your document.

Please observe: as of 2003 publications in the proceedings of the Eurographics Conference can use color images throughout the paper. No separate color tables are necessary.

However, workshop proceedings might have different agreements! Figure 3 is an example for creating color plates.

Due to the use of the package hyperref the original behavior of the command $\backslash$url from the package url is not available. To circumvent this problem we either recommend to use the command $\backslash$httpAddr from the included package egweblnk (see below) or to replace the command $\backslash$url by the command $\backslash$webLink – e.g. in cases where $\backslash$url has been used widely in BibTeX-References. In the latter case we suggest to run BibTeX as usual and then replace all occurences of $\backslash$url by $\backslash$webLink

$\backslash$httpAddr {URL without leading ’http:’}

e.g.   http://diglib.eg.org/handle/10.2312/306

$\backslash$httpsAddr {URL without leading ’https:’}

e.g.   https://diglib.eg.org/handle/10.2312/306

$\backslash$ftpAddr {URL without leading ’ftp:’}

e.g.   ftp://www.eg.org/EG/DL/ftpupload

$\backslash$URL {url}

e.g.   http://diglib.eg.org/handle/10.2312/306

$\backslash$MailTo {Email addr}

e.g.   publishing@eg.org

$\backslash$MailToNA {emailName}{@emailSiteAddress}

e.g.   publishing@eg.org

$\backslash$webLink{URL without hyperlink creation}

e.g.   http://www.eg.org/some_arbitrary_long/but_useless/URL

Your final paper should be delivered as a PDF document with all typefaces embedded. LaTeX users should use dvips and ps2pdf to create this PDF document. Adobe Acrobat Distiller may be used in place of ps2pdf.

Adobe PDFWriter is not acceptable for use. Documents created with PDFWriter will be returned to the author for revision. pdftex and pdflatex (and its variants) can be used only if the author can make certain that all typefaces are embedded and images are not downsampled or subsampled during the PDF creation process.

Users with no access to these PDF creation tools should make available a PostScript file and we will make a PDF document from it.

The PDF file must not be change protected.

You must include your signed Eurographics Exclusive License Form when you submit your finished paper. We MUST have this form before your paper can be published in the proceedings.

Please direct any questions to the production editor in charge of these proceedings.
