we usually use two kinds of units to adjust the line spacing in word, one is single spacing , 1.5 times spacing, 2 times spacing, etc., and the other is USES “pounds” for setting, I generally do not like to use single spacing when writing documents, I think the 22 pound spacing is the most appropriate, looks the most comfortable.
today when I was editing my paper with latex, I wanted to adjust the line spacing in the LLNCS template, so I summarized both approaches, but before I could use them, I had to introduce the package file: \usepackage{setspace} :
1) \ renewcommand {\ baselinestretch} {1.0}
can be understood as what I just used in word, one is to adjust the single spacing, 1.5 times the spacing, 2 times the spacing, etc..
2) \ setlength {\ baselineskip} {20 pt}
First of all, we need to know several common unit conversions of LaTeX:
We often see the units of length used by LaTeX, in, em, and so on.
LaTeX
- – in inches (inch)
- mm mm (millimeters)
- “ cm (centimeters)
em-- pt points (approximately 1/72 inch)
- 0 1 ex – 2 Approximately the height of an “x” in the current font
- mm mm (millimeters)
length can also be negative, such as
and “pounds” is a measure of the size of a print, which is about one seventy-two inches. While
so this can be roughly equal to the “pounds” in wor units.
