FAQs

1. Title
   • Q: Can the paper title be modified from the title of my talk ?
     A: Yes, you can. Especially, if you are a rapporteur speaker, please find a good title for your paper.

      

2. Format
   • Q: Can we use the color figures ?
     A: Yes, you can, however, the printed volume will be presented them only in gray scale. Be careful not to use such expressions as 'plotted in red' in your captions.

      

   • Q: I'd like to know what font size is required for proceedings. Usually it is 11pt, but file icrc2003.tex has 12pt, which I think is too large.
     A: We will reduce the contributions by 80% when they are printed. So, font size will be appropriate as the conference proceedings.

      

   • Q: In fact I need to use two-column style to insert the figures.
     A: If you would like to use the figures in two-column, please refer to example below.

   • Q: I want to use the other Latex-package 'wrapfig'. Am I allowed to include it at the style?
     A: To use the LaTeX-package 'wrapfig' is strongly discouraged by the reasons listed below.
     (i) All papers of the contributors will be compiled as a total. Separate compilation of your paper is impossible.
     (ii) Page layout of your contribution would be disturbed because 'wrapfig' does not support the figure-float. It is difficult to reproduce the page layout of your contribution completely in accordance with your intention again.
     (iv) We are not sure how 'wrapfig' gives influence upon other package software.
