\chapter{Introduction}

In the beginning, there was $\pi$:

\begin{equation}
   e^{\pi i} + 1 = 0  \label{eqn_pi}
\end{equation}
A \gls{computer} could compute $\pi$ all day long. In fact, subsets of digits
of $\pi$'s decimal approximation would make a good source for psuedo-random
vectors, \gls{rvec} .

\section{Some Meaningless Stuff}

The credo of the \gls{aaaaz} was, for several years, several paragraphs of gibberish, until the \gls{dingledorf} responsible for the \gls{aaaaz} Web site realized his mistake:

This would be a good place for some figures and tables.

Some notes on figures and photographs\ldots

\begin{itemize}
\item A well-prepared PDF should be 
  \begin{enumerate}
    \item Of reasonable size, {\it i.e.} photos cropped and compressed.
    \item Scalable, to allow enlargment of text and drawings. 
  \end{enumerate} 
\item Photos must be bit maps, and so are not scaleable by definition. TIFF and
BMP are uncompressed formats, while JPEG is compressed. Most photos can be
compressed without losing their illustrative value.
\item Drawings that you make should be scalable vector graphics, \emph{not} 
bit maps. Some scalable vector file formats are: EPS, SVG, PNG, WMF. These can
all be converted into PNG or PDF, that pdflatex recognizes. Your drawing 
package probably can export to one of these formats directly. Otherwise, a 
common procedure is to print-to-file through a Postscript printer driver to 
create a PS file, then convert that to EPS (encapsulated PS, which has a 
bounding box to describe its exact size rather than a whole page). 
Programs such as GSView (a Ghostscript GUI) can create both EPS and PDF from
PS files. Appendix~\ref{AppendixA} shows how to generate properly sized Matlab
plots and save them as PDF.
\item It's important to crop your photos and draw your figures to the size that
you want to appear in your thesis. Scaling photos with the 
includegraphics command will cause loss of resolution. And scaling down 
drawings may cause any text annotations to become too small.
\end{itemize}

\footnote{
Note that while it is possible to include hyperlinks to external documents,
it is not wise to do so, since anything you can't control may change over time. 
It \emph{would} be appropriate and necessary to provide external links to 
additional resources for a multimedia ``enhanced'' thesis. 
But also note that if the \package{hyperref} package is not included, 
as for the print-optimized option in this thesis template, any \cmmd{href} 
commands in your logical document are no longer defined.
A work-around employed by this thesis template is to define a dummy
\cmmd{href} command (which does nothing) in the preamble of the document, 
before the \package{hyperref} package is included. 
The dummy definition is then redifined by the
\package{hyperref} package when it is included.

The classic book by Leslie Lamport \cite{lamport.book}, author of \LaTeX , is
worth a look too, and the many available add-on packages are described by 
Goossens \textit{et al} \cite{goossens.book}.

\chapter[PDF Plots From Matlab]{Matlab Code for Making a PDF Plot}
\label{AppendixA}
% Tip 4: Example of how to get a short chapter title for the Table of Contents
%======================================================================
\section{Using the GUI}
Properties of Matab plots can be adjusted from the plot window via a graphical
interface. Under the Desktop menu in the Figure window, select the Property
Editor. You may also want to check the Plot Browser and Figure Palette for
more tools. To adjust properties of the axes, look under the Edit menu and
select Axes Properties.

To set the figure size and to save as PDF or other file formats, click the
Export Setup button in the figure Property Editor.

\section{From the Command Line} 
All figure properties can also be manipulated from the command line. Here's an
example: 
\begin{verbatim}
x=[0:0.1:pi];
hold on % Plot multiple traces on one figure
plot(x,sin(x))
plot(x,cos(x),'--r')
plot(x,tan(x),'.-g')
title('Some Trig Functions Over 0 to \pi') % Note LaTeX markup!
legend('{\it sin}(x)','{\it cos}(x)','{\it tan}(x)')
hold off
set(gca,'Ylim',[-3 3]) % Adjust Y limits of "current axes"
set(gcf,'Units','inches') % Set figure size units of "current figure"
set(gcf,'Position',[0,0,6,4]) % Set figure width (6 in.) and height (4 in.)
cd n:\thesis\plots % Select where to save
print -dpdf plot.pdf % Save as PDF
\end{verbatim}
