I'm trying to customize a ACM template, the Large Format Single Column one [1] and really the main thing I want to get rid of is the subject descriptors and keywords part. I realize how important they are in a journal but if I want to use the template for anything else, it would be really nice to be able to remove them.
In the .tex
source, this is present under the abstract like the following:
\end{abstract}
\category{H.5.2}{Information Interfaces and Presentation}{User
Interfaces}[Evaluation/\break methodology]
\category{H.1.2}{Models and Principles}{User/Machine Systems}[Human Information Processing]
\category{I.5.1}{Pattern\break Recognition}{Models}[Neural Nets]
\terms{Human Factors}
\keywords{Contour perception, flow visualization, perceptual theory, visual cortex, visualization}
\acmformat{Daniel Pineo, Colin Ware, and Sean Fogarty. 2010. Neural Modeling of Flow Rendering Effectiveness.}
If I remove any of this, all the abstract portion is gone, I realize that the .cls
file needs to be edited but I am sure what part needs to be edited. I would really appreciate some guidance in where to look for to edit this and remove the cateogories and keywords parts. Thanks for the help!!

Some changes to the way
\maketitle
is defined by the class are necessary. Do not modify the original.cls
file, though; you can either use the redefinition in your.tex
document, as I did in my example code below (notice the section between\makeatletter
,\makeatother
commands), or make a copy ofacmlarge.cls
, call itmyacmlarge.cls
and replace the\maketitle
definition in the copy with the definition of my example (without using\makeatletter
and\makeatother
, in this case); save the copy in your local TDS tree or in your current working directory and then usein your document.
The example code:
