It's not a blog, it's a feature

I use the following environment to write my diploma thesis:

- Miktex 2.4.1705
- TeXnicCenter version 1 Beta 6.31
- Ghostscript 8.53

I had huge problems with image quality when I used to create a PDF with the pictures in JPG format.

The solution is (after intensive searching the WWW and many tries):

• convert your pictures in the EPS format
  
• use the way over ps creation (in TeXnicCenter use the profil LaTeX => PS => PDF) and the images look really beautiful in high quality.

P.S.: To import images in Latex use:
\begin{figure}[ht]
\centering
\includegraphics{digitalTV}
\caption{Digital transmission setup}
\label{digitalTV}
\end{figure}

In the header you have to include the following line to make the code work:
\usepackage{graphicx}

In the brackets behind includegraphics must be the path to your image with the file-ending relatively to your LaTeX-File.
Caption is for the legend under the picture (with automatic numeration).
Label if you want to use a reference to the image in the text.

If you don't want your footnotes to begin a new numeration in every chapter a simple LaTeX command will make this possible:

In your header (before \begin{document}) you have to insert the following code:
\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithout{footnote}{chapter}


You can download the chngcntr-package here

With my extended Linux usage I decided to write my Latex documents with the KDE tool Kile. And I just can't unterstand why I didn't use it earlier.
It just makes work much easier with many features like intelli-sense, syntax-highlighting, wizards and templates, a.s.o.
If you use Latex and Linux there is no way around it!

By the way: This blog may be neglected the next weeks, because of the WM blog: Tobi's WM Journal with daily stories about the world cup in Germany.
