When to use

使用场景

  • The user needs a research poster for a conference, workshop, demo session, or department event.
  • The venue gives a size such as A0, A1, 36x48in, 48x36in, or a custom board.
  • A LaTeX poster already exists and needs a print-day lint pass.
  • The user wants a 2-minute or 5-minute pitch for visitors.
  • 用户需要为会议、研讨会、演示环节或部门活动制作研究海报。
  • 场地给出尺寸要求,如A0、A1、36x48英寸、48x36英寸或自定义展板。
  • 已存在LaTeX海报,需要进行打印前的检查。
  • 用户想要为参观者准备2分钟或5分钟的展示演讲稿。

Inputs

输入信息

  • Poster size from presenter instructions or the acceptance email. Do not guess the board size from memory.
  • Optional: the paper's main
    .tex
    file, so figures can be inventoried and copied from the source tree.
  • Optional: existing poster source, usually beamerposter or tikzposter.
  • Optional: draft pitch text in markdown or plain text.
  • 从展示者须知或录用邮件中获取的海报尺寸。切勿凭记忆猜测展板尺寸。
  • 可选:论文的主
    .tex
    文件,以便盘点并从源目录中复制图表。
  • 可选:现有海报源文件,通常为beamerposter或tikzposter格式。
  • 可选:markdown或纯文本格式的展示演讲稿草稿。

Process

流程

  1. Confirm the physical size and orientation. Run:
    bash
    python3 scripts/poster_size.py --size 36x48in
    python3 scripts/poster_size.py --size a0 --orientation portrait
    If the venue also gives a board limit, include it:
    bash
    python3 scripts/poster_size.py --size 36x48in --board 48x96in
  2. Inventory paper figures when a LaTeX paper source is available:
    bash
    python3 scripts/poster_figures.py paper/main.tex --copy-to poster/assets
    Prefer figures that are central to the paper's claim, cited often, and still readable when enlarged. Avoid cramming full paper multi-panel figures onto the poster without simplification.
  3. Draft or revise the poster around a small number of claims. A good poster is not a paper pasted onto a board: use claim-style section headings, one hero visual, short method/evaluation blocks, and a clear takeaway with contact information or a QR code.
  4. Lint the poster source:
    bash
    python3 scripts/poster_lint.py poster/poster.tex --expect-size 36x48in
    Fix every
    RISK
    finding before sending to print. With
    --strict
    , warnings also fail the run.
  5. Time the pitch:
    bash
    python3 scripts/pitch_check.py poster/pitch-2min.md --minutes 2
    python3 scripts/pitch_check.py poster/pitch-5min.md --minutes 5
    Keep the short pitch conversational. It should end by inviting the visitor into the discussion rather than dumping every result.
  1. 确认实际尺寸和方向。运行:
    bash
    python3 scripts/poster_size.py --size 36x48in
    python3 scripts/poster_size.py --size a0 --orientation portrait
    如果场地还给出展板限制,请包含该参数:
    bash
    python3 scripts/poster_size.py --size 36x48in --board 48x96in
  2. 当提供LaTeX论文源文件时,盘点论文图表:
    bash
    python3 scripts/poster_figures.py paper/main.tex --copy-to poster/assets
    优先选择对论文核心论点至关重要、被频繁引用且放大后仍清晰可读的图表。避免未经简化就将论文中的多面板图表全部塞进海报。
  3. 围绕少量核心论点起草或修改海报。优秀的海报并非论文的简单粘贴:采用论点式章节标题、一个核心视觉元素、简短的方法/评估模块,以及包含联系方式或二维码的清晰结论。
  4. 检查海报源文件:
    bash
    python3 scripts/poster_lint.py poster/poster.tex --expect-size 36x48in
    在打印前修复所有
    RISK
    级别的问题。使用
    --strict
    参数时,警告也会导致检查失败。
  5. 为展示演讲稿计时:
    bash
    python3 scripts/pitch_check.py poster/pitch-2min.md --minutes 2
    python3 scripts/pitch_check.py poster/pitch-5min.md --minutes 5
    保持简短展示演讲稿口语化。结尾应邀请参观者参与讨论,而非堆砌所有结果。

Guardrails

约束规则

  • Never invent venue size, board size, or print requirements.
  • Never alter data values, axes, or results to make a figure look better.
  • Do not reproduce third-party figures unless the user has rights to use them.
  • Keep posters readable from a distance: if text only fits at tiny sizes, cut it.
  • 切勿编造场地尺寸、展板尺寸或打印要求。
  • 切勿修改数据值、坐标轴或结果以美化图表。
  • 除非用户拥有使用权,否则不得复制第三方图表。
  • 确保海报从远处可阅读:若文本只能以极小字号容纳,则删减内容。
