%% Uncomment one of the lines above depending on where your paper is

%% in the conference process. ``review'' and ``widereview'' are for review

%% submission, ``preprint'' is for pre-publication, and the final version

%% doesn't use a specific qualifier. Further, ``electronic'' includes

%% hyperreferences for more convenient online viewing.



%% Please use one of the ``review'' options in combination with the

%% assigned online id (see below) ONLY if your paper uses a double blind

%% review process. Some conferences, like IEEE Vis and InfoVis, have NOT

%% in the past.



%% Figures should be in CMYK or Grey scale format, otherwise, colour 

%% shifting may occur during the printing process.



%% These few lines make a distinction between latex and pdflatex calls and they

%% bring in essential packages for graphics and font handling.

%% Note that due to the DeclareGraphicsExtensions{} call it is no longer necessary

%% to provide the the path and extension of a graphics file:

%% includegraphics{diamondrule} is completely sufficient.
