\section{Introduction}
Please follow the steps outlined in this document very carefully when
submitting your manuscript to Eurographics.
You may as well use the \LaTeX\ source as a template to typeset your own
paper. In this case we encourage you to also read the \LaTeX\ comments
embedded in the document.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Instructions}
Please read the following carefully.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Language}
All manuscripts must be in English.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Margins and page numbering}
All printed material, including text, illustrations, and charts,
must be kept within a print area 6.31 inches (16.03 cm) wide by
9.10 inches (23.13 cm) high. Do not write or print anything
outside the print area. Number your pages on odd sites right
above, on even sites left above, no page number on the first site.
Do not use page numbering within the final version of your paper.
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Formatting your paper}
All text with the exception of the abstract must be in a two-column format.
The total allowable width of the text area -- including header and footer
lines -- is 161\,mm (6.34 inch) wide by 231\,mm (9.10 inch) high.
Columns are to be 76\,mm (3.0 inch) wide, with a 8\,mm (0.315 inch) space
between them.
The space between the header line and the first line of the text body and
between the last line of the text body and the footer line is 5\,mm
(0.196 inch) each.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Type-style and fonts}
Wherever Times is specified, Times Roman may also be used. If
neither is available on your word processor, please use the font
closest in appearance to Times that you have access to. Only
Type-1 fonts will be accepted.
MAIN TITLE. The title should be in Times 17-point, boldface type and
centered. Capitalize the first letter of nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives,
and adverbs; do not capitalize articles, coordinate conjunctions, or
prepositions (unless the title begins with such a word). Leave two blank
lines after the title.
AUTHOR NAME(s) and AFFILIATION(s) are to be centered beneath the title and
printed in Times 9-point, non-boldface type. This information is to be
followed by two blank lines.
The ABSTRACT ist to be in a one-column format. The MAIN TEXT is to be in a
two-column format.
MAIN TEXT. Type main text in 9-point Times, single-spaced. Do \emph{not} use
double-spacing. All paragraphs should be indented 1 em (the length of the
dash in the actual font). Make sure your text is fully justified -- that is,
flush left and flush right. Please do not place any additional blank lines
between paragraphs. Figure and table captions should be 9-point Times
boldface type as in Figure~\ref{fig:firstExample}.
\noindent Long captions should be set as in Figure~\ref{fig:ex1} or
Figure~\ref{fig:ex3}.
\begin{figure}[htb]
% an empty figure just consisting of the caption lines
\caption{\label{fig:ex1}
'Empty' figure only to serve as an example of long caption requiring
more than one line. It is not typed centered but aligned on both sides.}
\end{figure}
\noindent
Figures which need the full textwidth can be typeset as Figure~\ref{fig:ex3}.
\noindent Callouts should be 9-point Times, non-boldface type. Initially
capitalize only the first word of section titles and first-, second-, and
third-order headings.
FIRST-ORDER HEADINGS. (For example, \textbf{1. Introduction}) should be Times
9-point boldface, initially capitalized, flush left, with one blank line
before, and one blank line after.
SECOND-ORDER HEADINGS. (For example, \textbf{2.1. Language}) should be Times
9-point boldface, initially capitalized, flush left, with one blank line
before, and one after. If you require a third-order heading (we discourage
it), use 9-point Times, boldface, initially capitalized, flush left, preceded
by one blank line, followed by a period and your text on the same line.
The headline \emph{(authors / title)} must be shortened if it uses the full
two column width of the main text.
There must be enough space for the page numbers. Please use ``et al.'' if
there are more than three authors and specify a shortened version for your title.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Footnotes}
Please do \emph{not} use footnotes at all!
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{References}
List all bibliographical references in 9-point Times, single-spaced, at the
end of your paper in alphabetical order. When referenced in the text, enclose
the citation index in square brackets, for example~\cite{Lous90}. Where
appropriate, include the name(s) of editors of referenced books.
For your references please use the following algorithm:
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{one} author: first 3 chars plus year --
e.g.\ \cite{Lous90}
\item \textbf{two}, \textbf{three} or \textbf{four} authors: first char
of each family name plus year -- e.g.\ \cite{Fellner-Helmberg93}
or \cite{Kobbelt97-USHDR} or \cite{Lafortune97-NARF}
\item \textbf{more than 4} authors: first char of family name from
first 3 authors followed by a '*' followed by the year --
e.g.\ \cite{Buhmann:1998:DCQ} or \cite{FolDamFeiHug.etal93}
\end{itemize}
For BibTeX users a style file \ \texttt{eg-alpha.bst} \ is available which
uses the above algorithm.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Illustrations, graphs, and photographs}
All graphics should be centered.

%%% Figure 1

\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
% the following command controls the width of the embedded PS file
% (relative to the width of the current column)
\includegraphics[width=.8\linewidth]{sampleFig}
% replacing the above command with the one below will explicitly set
% the bounding box of the PS figure to the rectangle (xl,yl),(xh,yh).
% It will also prevent LaTeX from reading the PS file to determine
% the bounding box (i.e., it will speed up the compilation process)
% \includegraphics[width=.95\linewidth, bb=39 696 126 756]{sampleFig}
%
\parbox[t]{.9\columnwidth}{\relax
For all figures please keep in mind that you \textbf{must not}
use images with transparent background!
}
%
\caption{\label{fig:firstExample}
Here is a sample figure.}
\end{figure}
If your paper includes images, it is very important that they are of
sufficient resolution to be faithfully reproduced.
To determine the optimum size (width and height) of an image, measure
the image's size as it appears in your document (in millimeters), and
then multiply those two values by 12. The resulting values are the
optimum $x$ and $y$ resolution, in pixels, of the image. Image quality
will suffer if these guidelines are not followed.
Example 1:
%
An image measures 50\,mm by 75\,mm when placed in a document. This
image should have a resolution of no less than 600 pixels by 900
pixels in order to be reproduced faithfully.
Example 2:
%
Capturing a screenshot of your entire $1024 \times 768$ pixel display
monitor may be useful in illustrating a concept from your research. In
order to be reproduced faithfully, that $1024 \times 768$ image should
be no larger than 85 mm by 64 mm (approximately) when placed in your
document.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Color}
\textbf{Please observe:} as of 2003 publications in the proceedings of the
Eurographics Conference can use color images throughout the paper. No
separate color tables are necessary.
However, workshop proceedings might have different agreements!
Figure~\ref{fig:ex3} is an example for creating color plates.
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Embedding of Hyperlinks / Typesetting of URLs}
Due to the use of the package \texttt{hyperref} the original behavior
of the command $\backslash$\texttt{url} from the package \texttt{url}
is not available. To circumvent this problem we either recommend to
use the command $\backslash$\texttt{httpAddr} from the
included package \texttt{egweblnk} (see below) or to replace the
command $\backslash$\texttt{url} by the command $\backslash$\texttt{webLink}
-- e.g. in cases where $\backslash$\texttt{url} has been used
widely in BibTeX-References. In the latter case we suggest to run
BibTeX as usual and then replace all occurences of $\backslash$\texttt{url} by
$\backslash$\texttt{webLink}
\noindent
The provided commands for hyperlinks, in a nutshell, are:
\begin{description} \itemsep 1ex
\item [\webLinkFont $\backslash$httpAddr \{URL without leading 'http:'\}]
\mbox{}\\
e.g. \ \httpAddr{//diglib.eg.org/EG/DL/WS}
\item[\webLinkFont $\backslash$ftpAddr \{URL without leading 'ftp:'\}]
\mbox{}\\
e.g. \ \ftpAddr{//www.eg.org/EG/DL/ftpupload}
\item[\webLinkFont $\backslash$URL \{url\}]
\mbox{}\\
e.g. \ \URL{http://www.eg.org/EG/DL/WS}
\item[\webLinkFont $\backslash$MailTo \{Email addr\}]
\mbox{}\\
e.g. \ \MailTo{publishing@eg.org}
\item[\webLinkFont $\backslash$MailToNA \{emailName\}\{@emailSiteAddress\}]
\mbox{}\\
e.g. \ \MailToNA{publishing}{@eg.org}
\item[\webLinkFont $\backslash$webLink\{URL without hyperlink creation\}]
\mbox{}\\
e.g. \ \webLink{http://www.eg.org/some_arbitrary_long/but_useless/URL}
\end{description}
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{PDF Generation}
Your final paper should be delivered as a PDF document with all typefaces
embedded. \LaTeX{} users should use \texttt{dvips} and \texttt{ps2pdf} to
create this PDF document. Adobe Acrobat Distiller may be used in place of
\texttt{ps2pdf}.
Adobe PDFWriter is \emph{not} acceptable for use. Documents created with
PDFWriter will be returned to the author for revision. \texttt{pdftex} and
\texttt{pdflatex} (and its variants) can be used only if the author can
make certain that all typefaces are embedded and images are not downsampled
or subsampled during the PDF creation process.
Users with no access to these PDF creation tools should make available a
PostScript file and we will make a PDF document from it.
The PDF file \emph{must not} be change protected.
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsubsection*{Configuration Notes: dvips / ps2pdf / etc.}
\noindent
\texttt{dvips} should be invoked with the \texttt{-Ppdf} and \texttt{-G0}
flags in order to use Type 1 PostScript typefaces:
\begin{verbatim}
dvips -t a4 -Ppdf -G0 -o my.ps my.dvi
\end{verbatim}
\noindent
If you are using version 7.x of GhostScript, please use the following method of invoking \texttt{ps2pdf}, in
order to embed all typefaces and ensure that images are not downsampled or subsampled in the PDF
creation process:
\begin{verbatim}
ps2pdf -dMaxSubsetPct=100 \
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.3 \
-dSubsetFonts=true \
-dEmbedAllFonts=true \
-dAutoFilterColorImages=false \
-dAutoFilterGrayImages=false \
-dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode \
-dGrayImageFilter=/FlateEncode \
-dMonoImageFilter=/FlateEncode \
mypaper.ps mypaper.pdf
\end{verbatim}
If you are using version 8.x of GhostScript, please use this method in place of the example above:
\begin{verbatim}
ps2pdf -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress \
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.3 \
-dAutoFilterColorImages=false \
-dAutoFilterGrayImages=false \
-dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode \
-dGrayImageFilter=/FlateEncode \
-dMonoImageFilter=/FlateEncode \
-dDownsampleColorImages=false \
-dDownsampleGrayImages=false \
mypaper.ps mypaper.pdf
\end{verbatim}
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsubsection*{Configuration Notes: pdftex / pdflatex / etc.}
\noindent
Configuration of these tools to embed all typefaces can be accomplished by editing the \texttt{updmap.cfg} file
to enable inclusion of the standard (or base) 14 typefaces.
Linux users can run the \texttt{updmap} script to do this:
\begin{verbatim}
updmap --setoption pdftexDownloadBase14 true
\end{verbatim}
Windows users should edit the \texttt{updmap.cfg} files found in their TeX installation directories (one or both
of the following may be present):
\begin{verbatim}
INSTALLDIR\texmf\web2c\updmap.cfg
INSTALLDIR\localtexmf\miktex\config\updmap.cfg
\end{verbatim}
Ensure the value for \texttt{pdftexDownloadBase14} is "true," and then follow the instructions found here:
\httpAddr{//docs.miktex.org/manual/} to update your MikTeX installation.
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsubsection*{Configuration Notes: Acrobat Distiller}
We recommend to download and install the version of the ``CMW'' Adobe Acrobat Distiller job options file
appropriate for your operating system and version of Acrobat from the following URL:
\httpAddr{//www.cadmusmediaworks.com/index2.html}\\
in the ``(Operating System)/Applications/Distiller Settings'' folder. The ``CMW'' job options file embeds
all typefaces and does not downsample or subsample images when creating the PDF document.
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Copyright forms}
You must include your signed Eurographics copyright release form
when you submit your finished paper. We MUST have this form before
your paper can be published in the proceedings.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Conclusions}
Please direct any questions to the production editor in charge of
these proceedings.
