L^ATEX 

L^ATEX  is a typesetting language used to write lab reports, theses, textbooks, and things such as this document. When the time comes for you to deal with L^ATEX  documents, you can pick up Inessential L^ATEX  from the SIPB. The command latex processes L^ATEX  files (suffix .tex) into DVI files (see above). Your L^ATEX  work will most likely begin with some lab report, for which you will quite likely generate figures using Matlab. The print command in Matlab lets you generate an Encapsulated PostScript file (with the option -depsi) which you can then import into L^ATEX . A brief note you should recall is that there are two main versions of L^ATEX  (Latex and Latex2e) and they differ by a few details. Versions of the latex command exist for both of these so you can make your DVI files.
