Tipsy House

在 dirty’s blog 看到這篇，才知道原來 visio 2003 可以透過 publisher 來輸出 eps 檔，不過目前對我來說，還是用 2002 方便，而如果要批次轉 eps(jpg -> eps, tiff -> eps 等) 的話，有 ABC 、winGraphic可用，不過轉出來的圖檔實在大的嚇人，用 acrobat 就不會這樣，可是這個要手動，也許直接讓 latex 去讀 jpg 檔會好一點(可不可以我忘了，反正我都轉好了 -__-”)。

Error: Too many unprocessed floats

Version: 3.x, 4.x, 5.0 - Scientific WorkPlace & Scientific Word
Problem

Typesetting the document results in this LaTeX error message:

Too many unprocessed floats

The message appears in the LaTeX window and in the .log file for the document.
Explanation

Documents that contain many floating objects may occasionally encounter LaTeX processing problems. When you typeset your document, LaTeX tries to process floating objects as it encounters them, anchoring them throughout the document. However, if it can’t place an object because of its size or if float placement options don’t fit, LaTeX holds the object and all following floating objects until the end of the document. If there are too many such objects for LaTeX to handle, it generates the error message.
Solution

You can force LaTeX to process floating objects with a TeX command in the body of your document. Alternatively, you can use the float package to manage the placement of floating objects.

什麼是 TeX ？

“[T]he TEX research project that I embarked on was driven by two
major goals. The first goal was quality: we wanted to produce documents
that were not just nice, but actually the best.”
“I never intended to have a system that would be universal and used
by everybody. I always wanted to write a system that would be used
for just the finest books.
-Knuth”

簡單的說，TeX 是一套很重視品質的排版軟體。

那 LaTeX 呢？
LaTeX 是一個 marco，因為 TeX 還是不夠直觀，所以 Leslie Lamport 寫了這個 marco，不過 Knuth 教授也有寫一個 plain TeX ，當然還有其他的，不過這之間的差異我沒注意過，所以也不清楚了。
