In order to better understand complex Belief-Propagation models tested with our simulator we have identified a strong need for a simple visualization tool that will grant us insight of the tested graphs.
Process Charting (also known as Process Mapping) is one of the oldest, simplest and most valuable techniques for streamlining work. It is used in nearly every level of production.
The package enables the user to use beamer style operations on a canvas of the sizes provided by a0poster; font scaling is available (using packages such as type1cm if necessary).
In addition, the package allows the user to benefit from the nice colour box handling and alignment provided by the beamer class (for example, with rounded corners and shadows). Good looking posters may be created very rapidly.
Features include:
scalable fonts using the fp and type1cm packages;
posters in A-series sizes, and custom sizes like double A0 are possible;
still applicable to custom beamer slides, e.g. 16:9 slides for a wide-screen (i.e. 1.78 aspect ratio);
orientation may be portrait or landscape;
a ‘debug mode’ is provided.
