Kurzbeschreibung
The LATEX typesetting system remains a popular choice for typesetting a wide variety of documents, from papers, journal articles, and presentations, to books--especially those that include technical text or demand high-quality composition. This book is the most comprehensive guide to making illustrations in LATEX documents, and it has been completely revised and expanded to include the latest developments in LATEX graphics. The authors describe the most widely used packages and provide hundreds of solutions to the most commonly encountered LATEX illustration problems. This book will show you how to * Incorporate graphics files into a LATEX document * Program technical diagrams using several languages, including METAPOST, PSTricks, and XY-pic * Use color in your LATEX projects, including presentations * Create special-purpose graphics, such as high-qualitymusic scores and games diagrams * Produce complex graphics for a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines New to this edition: * Updated and expanded coverage of the PSTricks and METAPOST languages * Detailed explanations of major new packages for graphing and 3-D figures * Comprehensive description of the xcolor package * Making presentations with the beamer class * The latest versions of gaming and scientific packages There are more than 1100 fully tested examples that illustrate the text and solve graphical problems and tasks--all ready to run! All the packages and examples featured in this book are freely downloadable from the Comprehensive TEX Archive Network (CTAN). The LATEX Graphics Companion, Second Edition, is more than ever an indispensable reference for anyone wishing to incorporate graphics into LATEX.

Format:Taschenbuch
Zum Schreiben meiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten verwende ich LATEX. Das Sammelsurium aus dem WWW zu den grafischen Möglichkeiten mit LATEX wurde einfach zu unübersichtlich. Daher musste ein Buch her.
In dem Buch werden sämtliche Grafikpakete in Kapiteln abgehandelt. Mein Favorit PSTricks wird auch sehr ausführlich beschrieben. Da ich auch das Buch PSTricks besitze kamen mir allerdings einige Beispiele schon bekannt vor.
Die anderen Grafikpakete brauchte ich eigentliche kaum bis überhaupt nicht.
Das ist auch einer der Kritikpunkte an dem Graphics Companion: Wenn man sich mit einem Grafikpaket vertraut macht, dann sind andere meist nicht nötig. Das würde einfach zu vielen Verwechslungen führen und die Arbeit mit LATEX unnötig kompliziert machen. Daher, wer schon absehen kann, dass sie oder er mit PSTricks arbeiten wird, ist mit dem PSTricks-Buch besser beraten. Wer aber noch auf der Suche nach dem passenden Grafikpaket ist, der wird mit dem Graphics Companion die für sich wohl beste Lösung finden.

OK - but basically just a catalog and not really necessary
12. Juni 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book covers in one chapter (Chapter 2) the standard LaTex interfaces for embedding graphic objects in a LaTex document. Most, if not all, of this material is covered identically in the authors' other book "The LaTex Companion" and even in the 15-year-old LaTex 'bible', "LaTex User's Guide and Reference Manual" by Lamport.
Virtually the entire remainder of the Graphics Companion is a one-by-one synopsis of various add-on packages for LaTex, and essentially all of this material can be obtained free by downloading docs for the respective packages from the internet. Further, many of the packages covered in the Graphics Companion involve the user writing raw Postscript, a curiously old-fashioned, or at least unnecessarily geeky, approach. Raw Postscript for graphics has largely been superseded by the use of software such as Matlab, Mathematica, Maple, and Mathtype that produce cut and pastable graphic output that can be inserted intact into a LaTex document with a simple \includegraphics command - about all the average current LaTex user needs to know from a graphics standpoint. I'm not familiar with the publication requirements of the research world outside of engineering and math, but I can't imagine that other disciplines haven't evolved similar tools with cut and paste graphical capabilities.
Huge sections of the Graphics Companion are devoted to MusixTex and various game description (chess, Sudoku, etc.) packages - choices that seem to have been made because (perhaps) there were available doc files that could be used (with permission) essentially intact.
So, although apparently extensively researched and competently written, the Graphics Companion seems to be not much more than a catalog and compendium of docs, and difficult to justify at the price. Some time spent on one of the LaTex forums will lead to at least as much useful information as this book.

Excellent information but sometimes difficult to follow.
29. Januar 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Like The LaTeX Companion (Tools and Techniques for Computer Typesetting), "The LaTeX Graphics Companion" is loaded with valuable information from beginning to end (925 pages in total). This time, the focus of the book is on the various graphics packages that are available in LaTeX including:
*Metafont, Metapost and Metaobj;
*PSTricks (including pst-plot, pst-node, pst-tree, pst-fill, pst-3d and pst-3dplot);
*XY-pic;
*MusiXTeX (which is used for preparing music scores)
*Packages for typesetting science, technology and medicine formulae and diagrams; and
*Packages for typesetting games (influding chess, cards, etc).
Each package is described thoroughly, through the use of numerous examples and I doubt there is a more detailed manual to these packages available anywhere. However, be aware that this book assumes a working knowledge of LaTeX (if you haven't already purchased it, I recommend you buy "The LaTeX Companion" as well as this book). Also, I found that I could not obtain some of the graphics packages described in this book and I found that when I started learning PSTricks, I needed to look at some online tutorials as well as this book, in order to learn the basics. Goosens et al. are not good at describing things to absolute beginners, but are good once you get beyond that.

LaTeX Graphics

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I purchased the LaTeX Graphics Companion, The (2nd Edition) while learning LaTeX to use to prepare materials for use while teaching high school geometry. This is an excellent resource providing both descriptions of the macros and examples for a number of LaTeX graphic packages. It's coverage of the PSTricks packages along with its separate index have been especially helpful.
