thesis-umich.cls

%% This is the file thesis-umich.cls.
%% It provides a LaTeX class that is consistent with the guidelines
%% provided by the Rackham Graduate School as described at
%% <http://www.rackham.umich.edu/downloads/
%% oard-dissertation-format-guidelines.pdf>
%% 
%% This class is based on the LaTeX template provided at
%% <http://aoss.engin.umich.edu/pages/current/dissertation-template>
%% 
%% The correct usage of this template is to use it as a documentclass.
%% The first line of the .tex file should be
%% 
%% \documentclass{thesis-umich}
%% 
%% if this file is in the same directory as the .tex file.  If the
%% two files are not in the same directory, the relative path from
%% the .tex file to this .cls file should be provided.  For example,
%% if the document is called thesis-dalle.tex and this file,
%% thesis-umich.cls is in a subfolder called 'tex', the command
%% should be
%% 
%% \documentclass{./tex/thesis-umich}
%% 
%% An example is distributed with this file that demonstrates all
%% of the features of the template.  The example is in a file called
%% thesis-sample.tex.
%%

%% ---- PACKAGE LOADING ------------------------------------------------
% This class uses the geometry.sty package to set the margins.
\if@umich@report
% Use a 1-inch margin for all four sides for the report version.
\RequirePackage[margin=1in,footskip=8pt,headsep=0.4cm,%
headheight=\baselineskip]{geometry}
% This sets the distance between columns.
\setlength{\columnsep}{0.3in}
\else
% Use the standard margins for the thesis version.
\RequirePackage[margin=1in,left=1.0in, %
headheight=0.5\baselineskip]{geometry}
\fi

% This loads the required math packages.
\RequirePackage{amsmath}
\RequirePackage{amsfonts}
\RequirePackage{amssymb}

% This loads the proper graphics package.
\RequirePackage{graphicx}

% This is useful for complex figures.
% \RequirePackage{subfigure}

% This is more useful for complex figures.
\RequirePackage{subcaption}


% This changes the font.
\RequirePackage{times}

% This package allows the ability to create a 'code' environment.
\RequirePackage{verbatim}

% This hopefully tells verbatim to leave my damn quotes alone.
\RequirePackage{upquote}

% This package enables the use of proper single quotes in text.
\RequirePackage{textcomp}

% This package is used to set line spacing.
\RequirePackage{setspace}

% This package allows conditional testing of varibles.
\RequirePackage{ifthen}

% This package is used for silly letter spacing
\RequirePackage{soul}

% This package is used to generate alternate environments.
\RequirePackage{float}

% This package is used for the list of abbreviations
\RequirePackage[printonlyused]{acronym}
% \RequirePackage[]{acronym}

% This package is for the index, if it is to be used.
\if@umich@index
\RequirePackage{makeidx}
\makeindex
\fi

% This is the package for special headers and footers.
\RequirePackage{fancyhdr}

% This package will allow for some sections to be in
% different numbers of columns.
\if@umich@report
\RequirePackage{multicol}
\fi

% This is a package used in formatting the abstract
\RequirePackage{changepage}


%% ---- FORMATTING -----------------------------------------------------
% Set the page style to fancy.
\pagestyle{fancy}
% This command runs at the beginning of each chapter.
% It puts the name of the chapter into the 'leftmark' parameter.
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{#1}{}}
% This command runs at the beginning of each section.
% It puts the number and name of the section into the 'rightmark' param.
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\thesection\ #1}}

% Clear the current header and footer.
\fancyhf{}

% Set the header and footer for normal pages.
\if@umich@report
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\bfseries\thepage}
\fancyhead[LO]{\bfseries\rightmark}
\fancyhead[RE]{\bfseries\leftmark}
\else
% Simply put the page number at the bottom center.
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
% Get rid of the line at the top.
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\fi

% This sets the headers and footers for less-marked pages.
% Example: beginning of each chapter.
\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
  % Get rid of the headers on plain pages.
  \fancyhead{} %
  % And also any line.
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
  \fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
}


%% ---- PAGE STYLES ----------------------------------------------------
% This \ttlpg is the same as \titlepage in report.sty.
% It is used here to set the low-level style of front pages.
\newcommand*{\ttlpg}{ %
  % Set one-column switch temporarily to false.
  \@restonecolfalse %
  % Check the number of columns.
  \if@twocolumn %
  \@restonecoltrue\onecolumn %
  \else %
  \newpage %
  \fi
  % No headers or footers on titlepage
  \thispagestyle{empty}
  % This sets the page counter.
  \c@page \z@ %
}

% Same idea as \ttlpg above but with page numbers
\newcommand*{\frntpg}{ %
  % Set one-column switch temporarily to false.
  \@restonecolfalse %
