---+ Using !LaTeX or Image Manipulation Software to Produce Posters and Other Graphics Layouts
---++ Flexible Graphics Layouts in !LaTeX | [[http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/epslatex.pdf Graphics Inclusion Guide]]
---+++ Using =minipage= or =parbox= to create a layout with one tall graphic on the left half of the page and two smaller graphics on the right half
<verbatim>
% Usage: latex graphLayout  (pdftex option below makes pdf, finds colors)
% Figure layout can be done using a tabular environment, specialized
% LaTeX packages, or as shown here, minipage or parbox.  The parbox
% example that produced p. 2 has a problem with the vertical position
% of the title over the top right panel

---++ Making a Montage of Graphics Images (Including =pdf=)
The =montage= program that is part of the amazing =Imagemagick= package can take a series of graphics files and combine them into a single graph with descriptive labels.  Layout options are limited.  Here is an example.  The =geometry= argument can be used to specify the resolution of the final image.  The =pointsize= argument needs to vary with the =geometry=, to specify the size of the labels.
<verbatim>
montage -pointsize 30 -geometry 512x512 \
-label "Jane Doe" doe.jpg \
-label "John Doe" jdoe.jpg \
-label "Evan Verbose" verbose.jpg \
-label "Walter Perfect" perfect.jpg \
combinedpics.jpg
</verbatim>
