Example of a PDF talk with Octave-generated pictures. The final PDF version is available here.

Source files

• Main files:
  • attractors.tex
  • attractors.bbl
• Octave-files (*.m) for generating pictures (download Makefile and type `make images', or run `octave <filename>'): figures/index.html
• talk.bst (generated with `latex talk.dbj' from talk.dbj) is a bibliography style for presentations, with human-readable citation labels such as [Bohr et al.(1920)] (loaded with \bibliographystyle{talk} instead of e.g. \bibliographystyle{amsalpha}).
• beamerthemeOutremont.sty and beamercolorthemeg.sty are alternative lifestyle files (loaded with \usetheme{Outremont} instead of \usetheme{Warsaw}).

Instructions

1. Download and install Octave, which is a free software (copyrighted under GPL) similar to Matlab. On a Linux computer, chances are that it is already installed. You also need to have GNUPlot installed. On a Debian GNU/Linux computer,

apt-get install octave gnuplot

2. Download all the above files into a new directory and type `make' in that directory. This produces all the required TEX pictures and compiles the PDF file.

Reference materials

• Octave documentation
• GNUplot documentation
