#241834 — which package is good for making poster

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi all,

I have to prepare a poster,

I wonder which package is good for this work, I can print it out in several
papers and attach them together later.

Thanks very much for your advice

Hi, I would use 'inkscape'. It is very capable for vector graphics.
Sadly it does not support automatic slicing of a large image
into multiple small images, but that can be achieved manually
with a small effort as shown here:

Inkscape appears to be pretty powerful when one knows how to use it.
It's always added to my setups even though I barely touch it. Just
waiting for time to follow a good how-to step by step.

I just tried an "apt-cache search poster" query. Received "poster" and
"shanty" back. Mentioning in case someone knows of them or can help
test drive them for informational purposes. They appear to be command
line tools, and both have manpages for flags and such.

You may consider the beamerposter LaTeX package.

  I can print it out in several papers and attach them together later.

Actually, I recently used the tikzposter LaTeX package:
https://usermanual.wiki/Document/tikzpostermanual.44268497/html
https://roboticsconference.org/information/sample-poster2.pdf

However I am not sure it is still maintained.

The classical tube remains a good option.

Hello,

I guess she meant `academic poster' not `decorative poster'.
Doing `academic poster' with a LaTeX package allow to share
`LaTeX code' between articles, presentations, posters, ...

my two cents,
Jerome

+1 to that, specially Scribus.

Maybe a little overdo for just one poster, but
it's probably one of the best options when the
thing needs to be printed, very reliable in that
matter.

Good luck!
