Background B_block
- Org-mode is not only useful for producing blog posts and even scientific manuscripts; it is also perfectly suitable to make decent looking scientific posters
- We combine a relatively simple custom \LaTeX style file and common org-mode syntax
- The nice thing about org-mode is that we can populate the poster with code, graphs and numbers from inline code in languages such as R, python, Matlab and even shell scripting
- Inline code would look like this, which will produce a graph (Fig. /emacs/org-mode-poster/src/commit/60a2dff86dca8b42b97efbe79c6244e4c288112e/src/figcode1):
Block
x <- rnorm(100, 0, 1)
hist(x, col="gray")
Methods: Inline code and tables B_block
- In addition to inline code, we can also produce tables
- Tables are very powerful in org-mode, they even include spreadsheet capabilities
- Some code to process the vector from above to make a table out of its summary could look like this, which would result in a little table (Table /emacs/org-mode-poster/src/commit/60a2dff86dca8b42b97efbe79c6244e4c288112e/src/tabcode2) :
Block
m <- round(mean(x), 2)
s <- round(sd(x), 2)
data.frame(Mean=m, SD=s)

Results: graphics B_block
- Of course we can also include graphics
- Here, we use shell scripting to grab an image with curl from the internet (Fig. /emacs/org-mode-poster/src/commit/60a2dff86dca8b42b97efbe79c6244e4c288112e/src/figcode3):

Conclusions B_block
- This little example is meant to show how incredibly versatile org-mode is
- One can now produce scientific posters with a simple text editor
