Cluster:Latex poster creation

Plumbing

Two latex style files and one class file are needed:

• textpos.sty for the text positioning package
• a0size.sty for the poster format package
• a0size.cls for the poster classes

These have to be either in the latex path (usually /usr/local/share/texmf/) or in the directory in which you invoke the latex command. Note that to add a style or class file that is not in either the standard or working directory you have to put the path in TEXINPUTS enviroment variable (not including the standard tex include directory in this will result in none of the standard class or style files being found) or put the full path in the \include in the latex source (I haven't tried this).

I just copied the files to my working directory while confirming the whole poster creation process works. While refining the poster, I just made some links to the textpos and a0size style and class files in a standard place in my home directory.
