6 Figures and Tables

6.1 Vector SVG Figures

Vector figures are nicely supported. You should have a PDF file and an SVG file. The PDF will be used for the latex output and the SVG for the HTML output. The HTML output has a nice zoom feature using Colorbox.

Figure 6.1: The Sirikata metaverse platform architecture.

See an example in Figure 6.1. I suggest making figures in something like Inkscape. If you have only a vector PDF, you can use pdf2svg to convert (brew install pdf2svg or apt-get install pdf2svg).

6.2 Image Figures

Regular rasterized images work fine too.

Figure 6.2: The Open3DHub website allows browsing of 3D meshes.

A PNG example is shown in Figure 6.2.

6.3 Subfigures

The subfigure directives allow you to place multiple figures side-by-side in the document. Here's an example:

(a) Base Mesh + 128x128 Texture (334 KB)

(b) Base Mesh + 25% Stream + 256x256 Texture (568 KB)

(c) Base Mesh + 50% Stream + 512x512 Texture (923 KB)

(d) Base Mesh + 75% Stream + 1024x1024 Texture (1755 KB)

(e) Base Mesh + 100% Stream + 2048x2048 Texture (4385 KB)

(f) Original Mesh (913 KB)

Figure 6.3: Example of a teddy bear model at different resolutions of the progressive format (1 draw call) and its original format (16 draw calls). The size in KB assumes downloading progressively, e.g., 6.3e's size includes lower-resolution textures.

You can reference the entire Figure 6.3 or one of its subfigures, e.g., Figure 6.3f.

6.4 Table

Tables can be put inside the figtable directive which automatically numbers them, adds a caption, and adds a label.

Progressive	128	256	512	1024	2048
0%	0.53	0.63	0.81	1.03	1.35
25%	0.65	0.75	0.97	1.16	1.45
50%	0.74	0.85	1.02	1.26	1.58
75%	0.79	0.95	1.11	1.34	1.70
100%	0.88	0.99	1.20	1.44	1.82

Figure 6.4: Mean size of progressive format as a fraction of the original across all test models, shown as a function of the progressive stream downloaded and texture resolution.

Table 6.4 has all right-aligned columns.

Left Align	Right Align
Some text is left align	Followed by right-aligned
Some more text here	And more text here
And even more text	Also even more text here

Figure 6.5: This table has mixed alignment

Table 6.5 has one column left-aligned and one column right-aligned.

6.5 Text Wrapping Table

Text wrapping in tables work if you specify the width and either raggedleft or raggedright.

Column Family	Description
Users	Stores a list of users who have authenticated with OpenID.
Names	Stores a list of the 3D models in the database with their associated metadata.
TempFiles	Temporarily stores the binary file data of uploaded files until they have been processed.
Files	Stores the binary file data for uploaded and verified files.
Sessions	Stores HTTP session information used by the Django framework to look up session state associated with a user's browser cookie.
OpenIdAssocs, OpenIdNonces	Stores OpenID authentication information for users.
CeleryResults	Stores the result of application processing tasks (see Section something).
APIConsumers	Stores a list of consumers of the API for use with the OAuth protocol.
