Typesetting ChE documents with LaTeX

Typesetting ChE documents with LaTeX

Typesetting ChE documents with LaTeX

(OP)
Dear Eng-Tip-pers,

Has anyone ever published a ChE Technical document using the typesetting program LaTeX?  If so, could you please give me some recommendations of packages or tips to use, specially, for chemical engineering?

TIA, dogtop

RE: Typesetting ChE documents with LaTeX

dogtop, for actual publishing you should contact the publisher and see what format they want.

I have often used LaTex, and simply love the quality and distinct look. I only have experience with MikTex and, like others, it has a fairly steep learning curve.

CJKruger,

Thanks for your response.  I'd like to use LaTeX to draw PFDs and P&IDs in reports to clients rather than for publishing papers.  Maybe I will try to write a ChE package.

Thanks, dogtop

RE: Typesetting ChE documents with LaTeX

dogtop, in general it is difficult to do graphics in Latex.

The package I use nowadays for combining Latex formulas and graphics, is called IPE. Excellent quality, "easy" to use and you can have multiple sheets.

Inkscape may suit you better, and support Latex through extensions.

CJKruger,

Could you give more details about IPE?  What does IPE stands for? Is there a website for IPE?

TIA,

dogtop
