Miscellaneous syntax

Here's some miscellaneous Latex syntax in no format and not really meant for public consumption:

Latex graphics stuff (from Latex Graphics Companion)

make space for a figure:

\fbox{}

OR

\begin{pspicture}*[settings][baseline](x0,y0)(x1,y1) stuff

\end{pspicture}

% the '*' blocks stuff out?

\resizebox{xsize}{ysize}{stuff}

no space reserved:

\rput*[settings][refpoint]{angle}(x0,y0){stuff}

% the '*' blocks out

\includegraphics[angle=x,width=y,height=z,keepaspectratio]{filename}

\scalebox{h-scale}[v-scale]{stuff}

\rotatebox{angle}{stuff}

%hanging indent of paragraph:

\hangindent=3pc \hangafter=1

%equation numbering:

\begin{eqnarray}

lkasjdfls

\end{eqnarray}

% or \begin{eqnarray*} to not have it numbered

% \hfill and \vfill will insert space so things are spaced out - e.g. \vfill at end of slide will push all the previous stuff up to the top of the slide
