Finding Symbol Commands for LaTeX
Ever been writing a document in [latex]\LaTeX[/latex] and had to look up the code for a particular symbol? Google usually directs me to the Comprehesive LaTeX Symbol List but scrolling through and finding the symbol I’m looking for is time consuming. However, today I came across this site (Detexify) which lets you draw the symbol you are looking for and it tries to match it, providing symbol suggestions and letting you know the [latex]\LaTeX[/latex] code and the package to use!
Dr. Chubaty is an ecologist and simulation modeller who builds spatial models of forest landscapes and the species that live in them. He completed his PhD at Simon Fraser University modelling host selection in mountain pine beetle (MPB), followed by postdoctoral research at Université Laval and Natural Resources Canada developing forecasting models of MPB spread.
He runs FOR-CAST Research & Analytics in Calgary, Canada. His recent work
includes LANDIS-II forest landscape simulation studies, landscape
connectivity modelling, and analyses of insect outbreak dynamics, to inform
land management and species-at-risk decisions. He writes open-source R
packages for this work, including grainscape for connectivity analysis,
landisutils for LANDIS-II simulations, and co-developed the SpaDES
simulation platform. He advocates for open data and reproducible workflows.
