Posters are Often used at conferences for
presenting exciting new research results.
so far no official AALI poster theme is avail-
able to the researchers and students at Aal-
borg University (AAU).
The present theme changes this.
The theme is a particular configuration Of
the baposter poster template [1] which

You can either make a local or a globa installation Of the baposter poster template [1].
Local: Place the baposter . cle file in the same folder as the poster file aauposter . tex
Global: Place the b aposter .cls file in your local latex-directory tree. This is by default
/tex/latex/baposter where is
GNU/Linux:
Windows XP: c: \Document and
Windows c:
Mac OSX /
On GNU/Linux and Windows, you have to the filename database after placing
baposter. cle in the correct folder. This is done by
GNU/Linux: $ texhash ¯ / texmf
Windows with MiKTeX Open the MiKTeX Settings dialog and click 'Refresh FNDB'.
Windows with Tex Live Open the Tex Live Manager dialog and select 'Update filename
database' under 'Actions'.
Figures and Tables
You cannot use floats in the baposter template.
However, you can use figure captions by us-
ing caption Of instead Of \ caption. This is
demonstrated in Fig. 1 . Moreover, you can also
use \label and \ref to make references to
your figures and/or tables.

Fig. 1: Here is a figure caption
As you can see, the text background is not
white. If pur figures do not have a transparent
bad«ground, this may 100k too ugly for you. You
can Of course change the background colour
through the boxC010rOne option. Alternatively,
you can make the background transparent. In
Matlab, the following example demonstrates
how this is done
fl figure(l);
set(fl, 'Color', 'none');
You can also use pgfplots [2] for plotting your
Matlabdata. This is not that hard and the result-
Ing plots are much nicer than Matlab plots, so I
will strongly recommend that you have a 100k
at pgfplots right here http://sourceforge.
Known Problems
The
math
matrix
environment
\ begin{matrix}
end {matr ix
causes an error. I do not know why. Use
the array environment until the problem is
resolved.
Feedback
The AALI poster theme v. 1.1.0 has been
tested with baposter v. 2.0, and it can be
downloaded from my AAU website [3] or my
personal website [4].
If you find a bug in the AALI theme (and not in
the baposter template), please do not hesi-
tate to contact me. There is a FAQ at the
baposter website [1], if should have any
problems with it.
