This template is for papers of VGTC-sponsored conferences which are \emph{\textbf{not}} published in a special issue of TVCG.
\section{Using This Template}
\begin{itemize}
\item If you receive compilation errors along the lines of ``\texttt{Package ifpdf Error: Name clash, \textbackslash ifpdf is already defined}'' then please add a new line ``\texttt{\textbackslash let\textbackslash ifpdf\textbackslash relax}'' right after the ``\texttt{\textbackslash documentclass[journal]\{vgtc\}}'' call. Note that your error is due to packages you use that define ``\texttt{\textbackslash ifpdf}'' which is obsolete (the result is that \texttt{\textbackslash ifpdf} is defined twice); these packages should be changed to use ifpdf package instead.
\item The style uses the hyperref package, thus turns references into internal links. We thus recommend using ``\texttt{\textbackslash cref\{reference\}}'' (instead of ``\texttt{Figure\~{}\textbackslash ref\{reference\}}'' or similar) since ``\texttt{\textbackslash cref\{reference\}}'' turns the entire reference into an internal link, not just the number. Examples: \cref{fig:vis_papers} and \cref{tab:vis_papers}.
\item The style automatically looks for image files with the correct extension (eps for regular \LaTeX; pdf, png, and jpg for pdf\LaTeX), in a set of given subfolders (figures/, pictures/, images/). It is thus sufficient to use ``\texttt{\textbackslash includegraphics\{clouds\}}'' (instead of ``\texttt{\textbackslash includegraphics\{figs/clouds.jpg\}}'').
\item For adding hyperlinks and DOIs to the list of references, you can use ``\texttt{\textbackslash bibliographystyle\{abbrv-doi-hyperref-narrow\}}'' (instead of ``\texttt{\textbackslash bibliographystyle\{abbrv\}}''). It uses the doi and url fields in a bib\TeX\ entry and turns the entire reference into a link, giving priority to the doi. The doi can be entered with or without the ``\texttt{http://dx.doi.org/}'' url part. See the examples in the bib\TeX\ file and the bibliography at the end of this template.\\[1em]
\textbf{Note 1:} occasionally (for some \LaTeX\ distributions) this hyper-linked bib\TeX\ style may lead to \textbf{compilation errors} (``\texttt{pdfendlink ended up in different nesting level ...}'') if a reference entry is broken across two pages (due to a bug in hyperref). In this case make sure you have the latest version of the hyperref package (i.\,e., update your \LaTeX\ installation/packages) or, alternatively, revert back to ``\texttt{\textbackslash bibliographystyle\{abbrv-doi-narrow\}}'' (at the expense of removing hyperlinks from the bibliography) and try ``\texttt{\textbackslash bibliographystyle\{abbrv-doi-hyperref-narrow\}}'' again after some more editing.\\[1em]
\textbf{Note 2:} the ``\texttt{-narrow}'' versions of the bibliography style use the font ``PTSansNarrow-TLF'' for typesetting the DOIs in a compact way. This font needs to be available on your \LaTeX\ system. It is part of the \href{https://www.ctan.org/pkg/paratype}{``paratype'' package}, and many distributions (such as MikTeX) have it automatically installed. If you do not have this package yet and want to use a ``\texttt{-narrow}'' bibliography style then use your \LaTeX\ system's package installer to add it. If this is not possible you can also revert to the respective bibliography styles without the ``\texttt{-narrow}'' in the file name.\\[1em]
DVI-based processes to compile the template apparently cannot handle the different font so, by default, the template file uses the \texttt{abbrv-doi} bibliography style but the compiled PDF shows you the effect of the \texttt{abbrv-doi-hyperref-narrow} style.
\end{itemize}
\section{Bibliography Instructions}
\begin{itemize}
\item Sort all bibliographic entries alphabetically but the last name of the first author. This \LaTeX/bib\TeX\ template takes care of this sorting automatically.
\item Merge multiple references into one; e.\,g., use \cite{Kitware:2003,Max:1995:OMF} (not \cite{Kitware:2003}\cite{Max:1995:OMF}). Within each set of multiple references, the references should be sorted in ascending order. This \LaTeX/bib\TeX\ template takes care of both the merging and the sorting automatically.
\item Verify all data obtained from digital libraries, even ACM's DL and IEEE Xplore etc.\ are sometimes wrong or incomplete.
\item Do not trust bibliographic data from other services such as Mendeley.com, Google Scholar, or similar; these are even more likely to be incorrect or incomplete.
\item Articles in journal---items to include:
\begin{itemize}
\item author names
\item title
\item journal name
\item year
\item volume
\item number
\item month of publication as variable name (i.\,e., \{jan\} for January, etc.; month ranges using \{jan \#\{/\}\# feb\} or \{jan \#\{-{}-\}\# feb\})
\end{itemize}
\item use journal names in proper style: correct: ``IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics'', incorrect: ``Visualization and Computer Graphics, IEEE Transactions on''
\item Papers in proceedings---items to include:
\begin{itemize}
\item author names
\item title
\item abbreviated proceedings name: e.\,g., ``Proc.\textbackslash{} CONF\_ACRONYNM'' without the year; example: ``Proc.\textbackslash{} CHI'', ``Proc.\textbackslash{} 3DUI'', ``Proc.\textbackslash{} Eurographics'', ``Proc.\textbackslash{} EuroVis''
\item year
\item publisher
\item town with country of publisher (the town can be abbreviated for well-known towns such as New York or Berlin)
\end{itemize}
\item article/paper title convention: refrain from using curly brackets, except for acronyms/proper names/words following dashes/question marks etc.; example:
\begin{itemize}
\item paper ``Marching Cubes: A High Resolution 3D Surface Construction Algorithm''
\item should be entered as ``\{M\}arching \{C\}ubes: A High Resolution \{3D\} Surface Construction Algorithm'' or ``\{M\}arching \{C\}ubes: A high resolution \{3D\} surface construction algorithm''
\item will be typeset as ``Marching Cubes: A high resolution 3D surface construction algorithm''
\end{itemize}
\item for all entries
\begin{itemize}
\item DOI can be entered in the DOI field as plain DOI number or as DOI url; alternative: a url in the URL field
\item provide full page ranges AA-{}-BB
\end{itemize}
\item when citing references, do not use the reference as a sentence object; e.\,g., wrong: ``In \cite{Lorensen:1987:MCA} the authors describe \dots'', correct: ``Lorensen and Cline \cite{Lorensen:1987:MCA} describe \dots''
\end{itemize}
