Assembling a poster out of my already existing (and usually already plotted!) data should not be this exausting.
<bofh>
Poster design is hell, honestly.
<UmbralRaptor>
So: PowerPoint, LaTeX, or something else?

Huh, advisor's comments on the poster are contradictory.
<UmbralRaptor>
(This makes sense when you consider the risk of posters collapsing into black holes from excessive information density)
<bofh>
I still wonder if one can model poster information layout as a second-order cone problem or even an LP.

UmbralRaptor: professor wants your dissertation on a poster?
egg|laptop|egg has quit [Ping timeout: 190 seconds]
<SnoopJeDi>
bofh, sounds suspiciously close to the map-labeling problem (which is often solved with annealing AFAIK)
<SnoopJeDi>
((which I find _really_ neat))
<UmbralRaptor>
B787_300: no, though that would be an amusing poster to mock up
<B787_300>
Take poster size and figure out the right scale to paste the scaled down 8.5x11 sheets of the printed doc
<B787_300>
Or could latex accept arbitrary sized paper dimensions
<SnoopJeDi>
it can *definitely* do that
<SnoopJeDi>
but your suggestion brings to mind the mildly humorous notion of defending one's thesis by printing the dissertation and posting the pages all around the room for "convenient" reference when speaking.
<B787_300>
And if you look at page 164 which is under the table you will see...
<B787_300>
Now I am wondering what the smallest font you can put on a poster and still be readable and how many pages at 12 pt font with half inch margins that translates too
<UmbralRaptor>
ANSI E (44x34) would get you 16 sheets, and is small enough that campus print services can still deal with it… *ponders*
<B787_300>
I consider readable like 5 point font especially if I can get close

5 point font is readable on a terminal, not on a poster.
<bofh>
SnoopJeDi: ...now that you mention it, simulated annealing would work well here, agreed.
