VGTC Conference-Style LaTeX Template

LaTeX document class for papers submitted to conferences sponsored by the IEEE Visualization & Graphics Technical Committee (VGTC). You can use this template directly on Overleaf: IEEE TVCG conference-style template.

Make sure your paper adheres to the VGTC conference publication guidelines.

Conferences that use the conf document option:

• IEEE VIS: Visualization & Visual Analytics (Short Papers, Posters)
• IEEE Virtual Reality
• IEEE Symposium on 3D User Interfaces
• Symposium on Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Environment and Teleoperator Systems
• IEEE Symposium on Asia Pacific Visualisation
• IEEE Symposium on Interactive Ray Tracing
• IEEE Symposium on Volume Graphics

Contents

File	Description
vgtc.cls	the VGTC class file (keep it next to your paper or in the TeX search path)
template.tex	an example paper
template.bib	its bibliography
template.pdf	the compiled example (conference mode)
abbrv-doi*.bst	bibliography styles with DOI output (with/without hyperref, with/without narrow DOIs)
makefile	compiles the example with latexmk
figs/	sample images

Compiling

Compile with pdfLaTeX and BibTeX — on Overleaf or locally with any LaTeX distribution (e.g., TeX Live, MacTeX, MiKTeX):

make          # compile to PDF
make watch    # recompile on every change
make clean    # remove generated files

The makefile uses latexmk and detects the main file (the .tex containing \documentclass), so renaming template.tex is fine. Without make, run latexmk -pdf template.

Notes

• Use PDF, PNG, or JPG figures; convert EPS files with epstopdf.
• All fonts must be embedded in the final PDF — the default with pdfLaTeX; verify with pdffonts template.pdf.
