Sample plot

Figures can be exported as .eps files from Matlab, then imported as .eps files into a L^ATEX document. For help on how to do this see the L^ATEX help web page: http://www.physics.uq.edu.au/people/cochrane/phys3071/latexstuff.html, or ask a tutor.

The graphics format .eps (encapsulated postscript) is a proprietary, and very widely used typesetting format of Adobe Corporation, which allows figures to be resized and repositioned anywhere in a page.

The L^ATEX code used to include the graphics into this document was:

\begin{figure}
\centerline{%
\includegraphics[width=140mm]{diffuse1}%
}
\caption{Gaussian diffusion of a delta spike.  The variable $x$ is the
spatial dimension and the variable $t$ is the time dimension, both are
in arbitrary units.  The vertical scale represents the height of the
distribution of the variable $A$ as a function of both $x$ and $t$ and
is in arbitrary units.}
\end{figure}

The figure used is diffuse1.eps but we don't need to use the complete filename since the L^ATEX graphicx package can work out what it should be and use the right extension.

Figure 6.1: Gaussian diffusion of a delta spike. The variable $x$ is the spatial dimension and the variable $t$ is the time dimension, both are in arbitrary units. The vertical scale represents the height of the distribution of the variable $A$ as a function of both $x$ and $t$ and is in arbitrary units.
