I am writing a conference paper in the Extended Abstract Format (with the chi-ext
class, distributed by SIGCHI). The problem I am getting is to inserting a picture under the section of authors description as shown in the following image (and also how do I insert a image in the side bar on the left).
The code I have so far is:
\documentclass{chi-ext}
\title{CHI \LaTeX\ Ext. Abstracts Template}
\numberofauthors{6}
\author{
\alignauthor{
\textbf{First Author}\\
\affaddr{AuthorCo, Inc.}\\
\affaddr{123 Author Ave.}\\
\affaddr{Authortown, PA 54321 USA}\\
\email{author1@anotherco.com}
}}
\usepackage{graphicx} % for EPS use the graphics package instead
\usepackage{balance} % useful for balancing the last columns
\usepackage{bibspacing} % save vertical space in references
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
In this sample we describe the formatting requirements for various SIGCHI related submissions XXXXX
\end{abstract}
\section{XXXX}
\section{XXXX}
\end{document}
Note that this example has to be compiled with XeTeX or LuaTeX because the class requires it.

I found a version of
chi-ext.cls
from 2008 on Github and another one from 2010 on code.google. So, I did a solution for each of them. You will see that the older one requires more "hand crafting", where the recent version provides a\teaser
macro that takes the inclusion of some contet below the authors as an argument. However, for both versions the picture on the side is realized with a marginal note. For test purpose I used\rule
as a placeholder for the pictures.Code 1
Note that I disabled the
bibspacing
package because it is irrelevant to the solution and canceled a bunch of macros (\numberofauthors
,\alignauthors
, ...) because they are simply not there in this version of the class. You may compile twice to get the pictures in the right position.Code 2
Also here I disabled
bibspacing
for the same reason as above and compiling twice could be necessary too.Output 1
Output 2
