Running Doxygen (simple example)

First, we have to generate a configuration file for detailed specifications. This can easily be done by doxygen itself by simply typing:

doxygen –g

This will dump a default Doxyfile which is ready for further editing. We can edit the Doxyfile for flags (e.g. include subfolders etc). Once editing is finished, we can run

doxygen Doxyfile

This will generate the html or latex folder containing the documentation. In the Latex folder, you can type make to generate the desired pdf file.

"Some Postscript specials could not be rendered" error

This is a problem encountered while practicing with MikTex and WinEdt in the windows environment. Solution is simple: Select dvips option from the Render Menu. This should solve the problem.

Metric (TFM) file not found error

While using pifont package and ding expression, I had the following error with the Latex:

! Font U/psy/m/n/12=psyr at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.

}

?

This is partially solved by dowloading the "symbol" package from the Package manager of the MiKTex

Manually installing a Miktex package

Including source code in Latex without using "verbatim"

It is a nice feature to have the exact (or close) code formats in the latex documents. The following “listings” package achieves that. Here is a link that illustrates this in a clear and concise manner.

The Animate Package (Latex) Example using MikTex

To be able to use the Animate package, gif files should be converted to png files using available software. In this case, conversion of the *.gif file into the *.png is carried out by ImageMagick 6.6.8 through Cygwin shell via:

convert filename.gif filename.png
