[Tex/LaTex] How to let the table fit in one column in ACM format?

acm

I already wrote my conference paper in IEEE format and the following code fits well in one column. Now, when I need it in ACM format, it won't fit in one column.

\documentclass[sigconf]{acmart}    
\usepackage{booktabs} % For formal tables

You can simply use scalebox{}{} in order to fit your table to your desired scale.

Here is my solution for your problem:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{graphics}


\begin{document}

\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{0.95}
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{1pt}

\begin{table}
\centering

The following images demonstrate your original table vs. its reduced scale.

You can redefine \@maketitle to give the desired formatting in case of four authors:

\documentclass[preprint,10pt]{sigplanconf}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\makeatletter
\def\@maketitle{%
  \begin{center}
  \@settitlebanner
  \let \thanks = \titlenote
  {\leftskip = 0pt plus 0.25\linewidth
   \rightskip = 0pt plus 0.25 \linewidth
   \parfillskip = 0pt
   \spaceskip = .7em
   \noindent \LARGE \bfseries \@titletext \par}
  \vskip 6pt
  \noindent \Large \@subtitletext \par
  \vskip 12pt
  \ifcase \@authorcount
    \@latex@error{No authors were specified for this paper}{}\or
    \@titleauthors{i}{}{}\or
    \@titleauthors{i}{ii}{}\or

    \@titleauthors{i}{ii}{iii}\@titleauthors{iv}{v}{vi}%
                  \@titleauthors{vii}{viii}{}\or
    \@titleauthors{i}{ii}{iii}\@titleauthors{iv}{v}{vi}%
                  \@titleauthors{vii}{viii}{ix}\or
    \@titleauthors{i}{ii}{iii}\@titleauthors{iv}{v}{vi}%
                  \@titleauthors{vii}{viii}{ix}\@titleauthors{x}{}{}\or

                  \@titleauthors{vii}{viii}{ix}\@titleauthors{x}{xi}{}\or
    \@titleauthors{i}{ii}{iii}\@titleauthors{iv}{v}{vi}%
                  \@titleauthors{vii}{viii}{ix}\@titleauthors{x}{xi}{xii}%
  \else
    \@latex@error{Cannot handle more than 12 authors}{}%

\begin{document}

\title{My Title}

\authorinfo{Fname Lname}
           {school}
           {email@edu}
\authorinfo{Fname Lname}
           {school}
           {email@edu}
\authorinfo{Fname Lname}
           {school}
           {email@edu}
\authorinfo{Fname Lname}
           {school}
           {email@edu}

\maketitle

\begin{abstract}

\end{abstract}

\end{document}

The change was made in the line marked % HERE which originally formats four authors using

\@titleauthors{i}{ii}{iii}\@titleauthors{iv}{}{}

that is, three authors in the first line and the fourth, in a separate line. The required formatting can be achieved by changing the above line to

\@titleauthors{i}{ii}{}\@titleauthors{iii}{iv}{}

or to

\@titleauthors{i}{}{ii}\@titleauthors{iii}{}{iv}

for larger separation between the authors (in my code I chose the first possibility, but you can use the one that suits you better).

enter image description here

For ecomony in the code, this can also be done by patching (using etoolbox, for example) the \@maketitle command:

\documentclass[preprint,10pt]{sigplanconf}
\usepackage{etoolbox}

\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\@maketitle}{\@titleauthors{i}{ii}{iii}\@titleauthors{iv}{}{}}{\@titleauthors{i}{ii}{}\@titleauthors{iii}{iv}{}}{}{}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\title{My Title}

\authorinfo{Fname Lname}
           {school}
           {email@edu}
\authorinfo{Fname Lname}
           {school}
           {email@edu}
\authorinfo{Fname Lname}
           {school}
           {email@edu}
\authorinfo{Fname Lname}
           {school}
           {email@edu}

\maketitle

\begin{abstract}

\end{abstract}

\end{document}

To get bigger separation, one would use

\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\@maketitle}{\@titleauthors{i}{ii}{iii}\@titleauthors{iv}{}{}}{\@titleauthors{i}{}{ii}\@titleauthors{iii}{}{iv}}{}{}
\makeatother

[Tex/LaTex] Algorithm in new ACM Large format

Algorithm2e defines function as an alternative to algortihm. I guess you want something like

\begin{algorithm}[H]
\caption{Bytecode Generation Overview}
\label{alg:generator}
\SetKwProg{generate}{Function \emph{generate}}{}{end}

Map store=new Map(obj, queue)\;
\generate{Object pivot}{
     \ForAll{child $c$ in pivot}{
     \If{ $c$'s FieldContext is not set and $c$ is fusible}{
          generate($c$)\;
      }
     }
     build pivot's fieldContext $fc$\;
     EmitClassName\;
     EmitFields($fc$)\;
     EmitMethods($fc$)\;
}
\end{algorithm}
