Using LaTeX to Produce Posters and Other Graphics Layouts
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
% 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
