height: auto;\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\nThis repo contains a template for a 24-inch by 36-inch poster in the portrait orientation.\nThe template is written in LaTeX.\nIt can be edited on-line at the Overleaf website.\nIt uses the beamer document class and the beamposter package.\nIt should be processed with the lualatex compiler.\nI save it as a PDF, put it on a thumb drive, and print it for under \\$35 at Office Depot.\nThis template saves a lot of time and reduces the fuss and mess around preparing a poster.\n\nThis small size and portrait orientation accommodates most scientific poster presentation venues.\nIt attracts more visitors than average because its small size limits the amount of data that can be presented and thereby reduces the probability of overwhelming the visitor.\nThis poster is more of a billboard that draws in visitors so that you can initiate the conversation about your research story. \n\nThe template takes a single 24 x 24-inch image for the central region of the poster.\nI usually prepare the image in PowerPoint, Inkscape, or Gimp and save it as a PNG or PDF file.\nThe image may contain multiple figure panels with or without figure legends.\nI do the positioning of figure panels outside of LaTeX.\nThe bottom of the poster has a minimal amount of text, which no one concentrates long enough to read completely in the convention hall's din. \n\nThe preparation of the content for the figure panels may take several days.\nThe assembly of the panels in the PowerPoint slide takes 1-2 hours.\nThe editing of the text in the tex file takes 1-3 hours.\nAfter the figure panel preparation, the poster can be assembled in one afternoon.\n\nMy lab has been using this format for posters for at least four years.\nSummer students pick up quickly how to edit the text on Overleaf.\nIt was time to share this template.\n\n## Instructions\n\n- Download all of the files (git clone https://github.com/MooersLab/posterInLaTeX.git).\n- Swamp the PDF with your image file.\n- Change the Title and other text in a text editor or on Overleaf to suit your needs.\n- Run lualatex on the *.tex file in the presence of the style (.sty) files to compile.\n- Take the resulting PDF to a poster printing service.\n\n\n## Related projects of possible interest\n\n- [LaTeX manuscript template](https://github.com/MooersLab/manuscriptInLaTeX/edit/main/README.md)\n- [Writing log template in LaTeX](https://github.com/MooersLab/writingLogTemplate)\n- [Slideshow template in LaTeX](https://github.com/MooersLab/slideshowTemplateLaTeX)\n- [Annotated bibliography Template in LaTeX](https://github.com/MooersLab/annotatedBibliography)\n- [Diary for 2022 in LaTeX](https://github.com/MooersLab/diary2022inLaTeX)\n- [Diary for 2023 in LaTeX](https://github.com/MooersLab/diary2023inLaTeX)\n- [latex-emacs profile](https://github.com/MooersLab/latex-emacs)\n- [snippets for latex-mode in Emacs](https://github.com/MooersLab/snippet-latex-mode)\n- [Quizzes about Emacs to improve recall of keybindings](https://github.com/MooersLab/qemacs)\n- [Slides from talk about GhostText, Data Science Workshop, July 2022](https://github.com/MooersLab/DSW22ghosttext)\n- [Video link to talk about GhostText, Data Science Workshop, July 2022](https://mediasite.ouhsc.edu/Mediasite/Channel/python/watch/4da0872f028c4255ae12935655e911321d)\n- [The writer's law](https://github.com/MooersLab/thewriterslaw)\n\n## Update history\n|Version      | Changes                                                                                                                                    | Date                 |\n|:-----------:|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|:--------------------:|\n| Version 0.2 |  Added badges and update table                                                                                                             | 2024 May 4           |\n\n\n## Funding\n- NIH: R01 CA242845, R01 AI088011\n- NIH: P30 CA225520 (PI: R.
